It happens to the best of us. ; )

The Yuras Family Has Gone Public

Our good friends Mike and Cara have begun to blog. You can catch them at The Yuras Files. Follow them as they journey down the pregnancy path. It's quite the trip!

Keeping it Clean

I'm already posting photos that will embarrass her later. Too good not to.

(End of) Summer Rental

We traveled down to Oak Island for an impromptu weekend at the beach. My family rented a house across the street from the ocean. Being the "first weekend of fall," it was quite uncrowded, and since it still felt like summer, it was quite nice. A little surfing, a lot of swimming, and a healthy dose of relaxing with 4 generations of family made it a great weekend.

On Saturday morning, I pulled a "Hornburg" and beat the sun to the beach. As you'll see below, Raleigh made the trip also. Gorgeous.

Ral's and the morning moon.

After he finished barking at this piece of driftwood, Raleigh felt that posing would be alright.

Not the best shot, but it's her first trip to the beach nonetheless.

Cadence found her thumb.

Cadence's Bottle and Mommy's Bottle. They both only had one, but Dad maintained as the DD. Let's play it safe out there, folks.

L.O.W. Tee still in effect. I wore this year's shirt to dinner. Thanks to the Koch's for clothing me.

Shaka bro and brah.

Pioneers in Defense Drill

"Perhaps nothing captures an American's inability to think through the meaning of the Soviet photographs like Viktor Bulla's Pioneers in Defense Drill, Leningrad (1937), the most profoundly unsettling photograph in the exhibit. Bulla's photograph of hundreds of children wearing gas masks was not meant to be ghoulish, a commentary on war or lost innocence, but rather exemplified a reason for pride--the country was blessed with well-trained, well-equipped and obviously courageous young fighters."

I'm 6 Weeks Old...

...and I recently realized that smiling makes my parents happy!

Southern Modern Open House

Coco, Cadence, Eric, & I went to an open house for local design group BuildSense, Inc. Although not quite done, it was great to see a Durham firm's original take on prefabricated housing. Attractive & conscious. I really dug the screened-in porch. Even on a modern shack, you gotta keep those southern features. Check out their site. Impressed.
