December Trek
We made our annual trek up to D.C. this past weekend to see the sights and visit some old friends. We even go to visit our old church. Here are some photos from the weekend.

Sick Again
Monica and I are sick once again, and it’s due to us volunteering to watch the toddler class at church. Those kids are little germ factories, and they must have been in high production for us. We were still able to decorate the house for Christmas and enjoy the Hokies big win over UNC to…

I’m still full
Holy cow, what an eating fest yesterday was. We have leftovers in the frig and plenty of Tums in the cupboard. We’re off to some sort of Christmas craft show today. I can not believe it’s Christmas already, but I think I’m ready for it. We’ll probably start decorating some tonight and then it’s a…

Very Thankful
I’m sitting here once again watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, having just returned from the airport to pick up Monica’s mom. They sure do like plugging the NBC shows on here. And they also like showing me all the Broadway shows that I’ve never heard of, but at least I can look at the…

HMD
My Mom just left our house with flowers in hand after enjoying a feast of fajitas. We also enjoyed a great strawberry swirl cake that Monica whipped up, and just had a swell time. This is the first time I’ve spent Mother’s Day with my Mom since I went off to college in 1991. Every…

Victory
And now, it’s Sunday. Today is a day for celebration. Many people will chose this as the sole day to visit a church, and it will be beautiful, I’m sure. But as you’re eating your ham or turkey or whatever it is today, remember why we are celebrating. It’s not just a day for chocolate…

George the First
Happy President’s Day! Just thought you might want to read a little about a man who was quite possibly our greatest President ever.
