April Family Pictures

We had a lot of fun in April (before the stomach plague hit). Here are some pictures first of a Saturday that we spent at our local children's museum here in Raleigh:


The kids had a lot of fun playing dress-up and performing on stage, playing pirate on the pirate ship, and "sock-skating" around the mini Carolina Hurricanes hockey rink.

Last week, my son turned 3. In lieu of a party, we decided to spend a family day at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro.


I hope this is a good preview of a fun summer ahead!

  5. John,
    I too am a quilting dad, in fact a quilting granddad.
    I also have a UNC and Cary connection (I noticed the UNC logo). My son, a UNC grad, is a librarian at the Wilson Library in Chapel Hill. He and his wife live in Durham and have our second grandson, Jonas, who is almost 6 months old.
    Our daughter lives near us in Georgia.
    The Cary connection is that my niece will be getting married in Duke Gardens (the in-laws are Duke people but we still speak) at the end of the month.
    I am a retired Art Teacher and I started quilting after I retired. I have won three first place awards for some of the quilts I have made. Last year I made 12 quilts.
    Today I have worked all day on getting an entry ready to send to the International show in Houston.
    check out my blog where I sometimes post some of my quilt photos.
    I enjoyed looking at your quilts. And as many others have commented your kids are cute.
