Morning hike with momma

He probably won't call me that for very much longer :(

Side by side desks done!

Speaking on a Molecular Level Of Course

Quick story here from a recent meeting I had at a large, successful, global bio-pharma company here in RTP.  We're helping them to evolve their brand imagery.  They were presenting a powerpoint deck to possible investors recently.  Their opening slide had a big, beautiful, colorful, high def photo of a cell at the molecular level.  They fielded questions as to what kind of cell it was - they had no idea - the point of it was to demonstrate their domination of the bio-pharma space.  One of the scientists in the meeting took great delight in pointing out that the image was that of a testicular cell.  Not sure I would have been able to keep a straight face through the rest of that presentation!  Ha ha!  I'll be telling this story for awhile : )

The Destroyer

Caught living up to his name...

Confidence

Tonight during bedtime I used the word confident in a sentence. Blake immediately asked me what it meant. After I was done answering, Devlyn proudly said, "That's the way I feel in the morning on the bus or in carpool. I love school.". Boy does that make me smile. Loved hearing that and it makes me feel so good about the school he goes to - Sycamore Creek Elementary. They're obviously doing something right :)

Office Space

Lately, I'd been noticing that Devlyn needs a little bit of his own space.  Poor guy has schoolwork, shares a room with Blake (God help him) and until this weekend did not have a one square foot of our home, other than his mattress, to call his own.  So with some paint and wood we picked up at Lowes, we transformed one of the closets into his room into a nice sized desk area for him.  Next weekend we'll get around to adding some shelving, lighting and sprucing it up a bit but right now he is one happy camper with his new space.  Mission accomplished.
