Growing Up

C hit the six month mark recently, so he figured it was time to sit up...for at least three seconds at a time. He's still working on it.

Katie Goes to Big Sky

In August I was invited to present at an oncology meeting, the best part of which was a free trip to the mountains of Montana! Between meetings I had the chance to do some hiking, both solo and with my friend Autumn. I had two "moose sightings" which was a backpacking first for me! Here's a link to some pictures of my trip.

First Day of School

After a great three years at his beloved preschool, B started "el-ee-MENT-ary" school (pronounciation his) last week at George Watts Montessori, a public magnent school in Durham. He is in a preK/kindergarten class. He seems to be very enthusiastic so far and especially enjoys carrying his own lunch box and backpack, as you can see. He put up with Mom and Dad tagging along on his first day, but pretty much pretended not to know us!
