Life has been quite full since my last post. Just thought I'd hit some of the highlights for you.
After an awesome December with lots of dedicated family time, I greeted 2009 with a trip to D.C. Obama mania was consuming the city, but I was there strictly for business.
Ok, maybe 99% business. I had the opportunity to give a speech in front of 800 of my closest work pals which was nerve racking but a nice honor.
We had a great trip to Otto, NC with my sis and bro-in-law. I smiled watching Noah walk, sled, and play in the snow and talk all the way home about frosty. (I have a feeling I'll be hearing and singing about "totchy" well into the summer months) It made my heart smile watching how quickly Noah warmed up to his newly adopted grands and great-grands and how much they loved on him. (Thanks to Mas, Pas, GGma, and GGpa for your hospitality)
One of the most memorable events over the past month is a special meal I shared with my son. One chilly morning after a brief visit to Home Depot, I took Noah to Cracker Barrel for a hearty breakfast. After warming our hands by the fire and watching the workers in the kitchen, we sat down to order our pancakes and use our three colors on the kids menu. Twelve rounds of the abc's and 5 high fives with the waiter later, we enjoyed our peach pancakes and oj. All the old folks around smiled at us and thought Noah was so cute. I agree.
Good times. (just for you, Amy)

That first pic disturbs me verily.
That first pic disturbs me not a little.
You never cease to make me smile!
Congrats, on your award, by the way!
What exactly IS the first picture. Look at you speaking in front of all those people :)!
Sadly, that first picture is Josh mimicking the giant fried sea bass on his plate. Disgusting!
Thanks for clarifying Kimberly...what a weirdo. and those old folks weren't smiling at you thinking Noah was so cute...they were probably like, "awe, the poor guy with his son all alone." Pitying you, not smiling :) Just kidding...but they probably did think Noah was cute.
Okay, the blown up shot of the first picture makes more sense! Actually, I don't see how you could eat a fish that was staring back at you...yucko.
And congrats again on the big award...not surprising for such a good fellow as you. : )
The wknd in Otto was one of those that goes down in "best weekends to remember" category. We sure enjoyed our "adopted" grandkids and kids once again...you're all a great bunch. : )
