Basketball

We took Caleb to his first Basketball practice and game. He did pretty well considering we hadn't really taught him how to dribble ect. There wasn't any crying and these 2 coaches were really good and positive. They even gave out the first medal of the season to Caleb! (although I think they just asked the kids a question and he was the first to respond). There was another little boy that got upset that he didn't get a medal so I had Caleb go up to him and tell him "good job...maybe next time you'll get a medal"....I was kinda hoping that he would offer his...but he's 5...so...he took it out and put it on with a big smile. :D

So now, every Saturday from 3-5 we have an hour of basketball practice and then an hour game.

Tattoo Phase I

This is the first picture of my tattoo. It's phase I (hopefully only of 2) and I had it done at Blue Flame on Peace street. The initial session was about 2 1/2 hours before I tapped out and my endorphins had kicked in and my body was shaking and felt extremely cold. The second session will finish off some of the lines and add in the embellishments around it. I'm so excited that I finally did this! My other 3 tattoos were nothing in comparison to this one.

New Years

This New Years we went to Raleigh's First Night with the Styons family. They had an early acorn drop at 7pm for the kids so after that we went to Angela's cousin's house to watch the countdown and play guitar hero. What was even better was that her cousin is a foodie so the spread was impressive! All in all, it was a great relaxed way to bring in the New Year. May 2011 bring lots of good news and positive energy!
