CE is around 2 1/2 years old now and is apparently competing with MD to see who can talk the most. Lately she has mostly figured out the first person pronoun, “I”, but uses it for everything. Such as, “Let I do it,” except she pronounces the first word as “wet.” Other favorites are “Want I help you?” and “I can do it myself!”

Pullen Park Again
Again the girls are at Pullen Park–this time with [jModule]. Apparently they decided to follow the railroad and see where it leads. And the last picture is just a cute picture of the girls being loving to one another.

Museum Visit
More from CDF:
Here we are in the Life and Science museum. They had a cloud bowl where you could touch a cloud–the top was cool, but the farther down you put your hand the warmer it got. Very interesting. Then they had a tornado of cloud to show how a tornado begins and what it looks like. MD held on to the pole because she was scared that the tornado was real. No matter how I explained that it would not suck her up into it…she still held on. And lastly, MD was inspecting insects with a huge magnifier. She’d make a perfect Inspector don’t you think?
More to come.

Travel to Raleigh
We got back from a business trip yesterday and today CDF sent out some pictures from their outings:
[jModule] had a conference in Raleigh earlier this week and the girls and I took field trips to the Morehead Planetarium, Pullen Park, Museum of Life and Science, and NC Natural Science Museum.
These pictures are from Morehead Planetarium and Pullen Park. As you can tell, the last picture the geese came up to where the girls were and typical CE fashion, she had to tell MD what was going on!
More to come.

Surprise Vacation
Sunday CDF surprised me with plans to go on a mini-vacation to Southern Pines. I think what surprised me the most was that she had arranged for me to have two days off work without me knowing anything about it.
We had a wonderful time. It was too cold to go hiking like she had planned — the weather forecast was revised from low 70’s to freezing temperatures, maybe snow! But we were able to go around the historic sections and visit little shops. We had lunch Monday at a deli that served a lot of German and Irish influenced sandwiches. I got a “Best Wurst” sandwich that was delicious… or would have been except for too much mustard. CDF had a ham and cheese sandwich that was reminiscent of a roast beef sandwich. All that to say we had a good lunch.
A railroad goes through the area, but none of the museum sites were open and since it was too cold to get out and walk around, we only got to see it driving by. It looks like it would be a nice place to come back in the spring or summer and poke around more.
