A little more press...

When I got to church on Sunday, someone had taped this above the computer in the clerk's office (where I spend most of my time during church hours!) I didn't realize we'd made it into print, I thought we were only in the online archives. Pretty fun.

Almost Famous

We love the Blue Devils, and we were glad that the welcome home celebration was open to the public so the whole family could welcome the team back to Durham. As we walked up to Cameron Indoor Stadium, Hailey sat atop my shoulders shouting "Let's Go Duke!" at everyone that passed by.

The team's plane was delayed leaving Indianapolis and we ended up waiting in the stadium for nearly 2 hours before they finally showed up. By the time the team came out, Blake was asleep in my arms, and shortly thereafter, Hailey fell asleep in Lindsay's arms.

Blake and I showed up in a couple of online news galleries the next day; here are the photos from both the Raleigh News & Observer as well as the Charlotte Observer (thanks to Peter and Jonas for passing these along).

oh, and lest Hailey feel left out...check out the bottom left-hand corner of this one :)

Also, I have now been informed that Blake made a cameo on the local news that evening...now if only I can figure out how to get a hold of the footage.

Odds and Ends

Just before we left for our trip to Utah, the law school received a visit from one of our distinguished alumni, D. Todd Christofferson. Elder Christofferson came to the school as part of the Dean's lecture series, called "Lives in the Law". After his talk, my friend Justin and I had the opportunity to give he and his wife a tour of the law school, and later that evening he held a fireside of sorts for all of the LDS law students and our significant others. It was a great evening.

Also, while we were in Utah, and shortly after we returned the kids participated in a couple of easter egg hunts.

Oh, and by the way, it's warm here, and the kids are enjoying the pool.

Going to Carolina in my mind

We went to Utah last week to find ourselves a place to live when we move there in a couple of months. The kids had so much fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house, they didn't want to leave. When we got on the plane in Houston, the flight attendant let her go in to the cockpit to meet the pilot. She chatted with them for a minute, then the pilot said, "you look like you're going on a trip, where are you going?"; her response: "I'm going to Carolina in my mind". The pilots in the cockpit were laughing hysterically, and the flight attendant got a pretty good laugh out of it too. Cute. Oh, and Blake barfed just as we were getting off the airplane. Not cute. (but just to clarify, I think both of my children are equally cute)

Here are a few photos I snatched from the ad for the townhome we're going to rent; I think it'll suit us quite nicely.
