Home again Home again....FINALLY

Well it has been a LONG week.
Swansboro - Round Trip twice
Charlotte (well cornelius) round trip friday-sunday

and finally back here in g, good old Dur-HAM

The family reunion in cornelius went well. The blevins men got to talk a bunch, evan and emma took a spin on the ss minnow (specifically the "3-hour" tour part of it, and yes nina they wore Life jackets and sat buddied up - you worry wort) I spent most of the time on the couch in a daze from congestion and sleep deprevation.
The food was diverse-- in one weekend we had cold cuts, hamburgers, bad hotel coffee, shrimp boil, and a smorgasborg of pork and waffles for breakfast. uncle pat really rang the bell (well he had lots of highly qualified help - between all the other women and menfolk down there)

Driving the smoky filthy rent-a-van has definitely made me sick. No voice and a dry disgusting cough. That or the wonderful aroma from my niece and nephew, i didnt know something so stinky could come out of those sooo small. Even silas started having watery eyes.

Tonight we celebrated a well deserved rest by playing risk. Nothing brings out the best in family night by watching aunt Carrie (Carebear the destroyer) wipe the board with Evan, Emma, and myself, but between you and i, i let her win because shes my wife and all.

Considering the attention span of teenagers and the competitive love of a brother and sister all piled onto the table, we made it through relatively joyfully. Next time, im bringing some loaded dice though.


Silas on the otherhand had a longer night yet. He tried oatmeal cereal and some peas, well attempted to try as he projectile spit it out all over himself and his green bumbo.

So just bottles for the remainder of the night. thinking the smoky car, all of the stimulation, and a slight advancement towards full blown teething has caused it. But no worries, momma b and carrie ruled the evening and got him calmed and asleep.

Thats it for now, i need to go chug some more robotussin or something. The grape flavored is quite tasty. Wheezy, signing off....
