Cole and Kyle's First Day of School

This week I got pictures from the start of Cole and Kyle's school year. Cole is in second grade and Kyle has started kindergarten. It looks like they were both excited for the year to start!

Violent Femmes

I have been so excited about getting to see Violent Femmes in downtown Greensboro. Last night, Lindsay and I headed down there about 7:00. The band that was playing when we arrived were The Avett Brothers. We both enjoyed them. Then, we went to get something to eat while we waited for the big show. They took the stage around 10:30 and played everything that both Lindsay and I were hoping to hear. "Kiss Off" was the encore...just as things should be. It was a GREAT show!

The Big Surprise

I finally made it back from Montana about 10:30 on Tuesday morning. Because I was supposed to be back a little after 9:00 Monday night, this ticked me off a bit. However, everything happens for a reason. I assume the reason I got stranded at Dulles was because Cindy Ann and I have not been able to see each other for quite a while. At least it gave us a few hours together. Unfortunately, I had to go straight from the airport to school when I got back into town. Already being exhausted, I was not exactly happy to see how my office had been redecorated while I was on my trip...I think it would have been a lot funnier had I arrived back as scheduled.

Montana--Final Day

So, the last day in Montana was filled with all kinds of fun. The major celebration for the day was a Cowboy BBQ thrown by several of Kate's parents' friends. We had incredible pulled pork and grilled chicken. On top of that we had some incredibly decadent brownies! Kate's mom told a great story about her trip out to the great,wild west and everyone had a good laugh!


The BBQ Crew








The BBQ Crew had a stamp made with the Holley-Robinett brand. Kate's cousin Abby was fascinated by the stamp and many of us ended up with multiple brands.






Final big event for the weekend...Hanging out in the hottub with Wardo!

Montana--The Wedding

The wedding was incredibly fun! Won't waste time with words...see for yourself.

Montana- The Rehearsal and Ousel Falls

Last night was all about great food and great fun! The officiants got a little silly during the rehearsal...and I had a great view from my seat at the dinner.

This morning I went for a drive and found a hike of about 1 mile that led to Ousel Falls. It was a nice hike and a beautiful waterfall.

Now, I'm off to the wedding!

Montana Phase I

So, I've officially been here for over 24 hours! It is breathtakingly beautiful (check out the picture from my cabin's front porch). We went on a float trip down the Yellowstone River late yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures on that excursion, as, knowing me, I was sure to drop my camera in the river. Kate and I hiked part of the Beehive Basin trail today and I did take pictures there. Now I'm ready to hang out in the hot tub, take a nap and head to the rehearsal.
