Day 13 - More frames

The rain kept the guys away yesterday - but they were back today and got some things done. They framed out the door (peek-a-boo)
and they started putting up the frames for the screens

Baaaacon!

Sam isn't much of a meat eater. We were hoping he would come out of the womb begging for bbq but that may not happen for a while still. I did however make a break through this week and got him to try bacon. Yes, it's turkey bacon - I can't stomach the real stuff with all that fat - ugh!
And to make sure he gets more than his share of calories - those eggs have cheese and milk in them and that toast has the biggest pat of butter under all that jelly.

Oh, and Sam helped me vote today. His first presidential election and we voted for Obama - fingers crossed, he's not a popular pick in our neighborhood, but we believe in him!

Day 12 - Hold on tight

With the weather starting to get crappy, the contractors weren't able to do much today. But they did get the handrail for the steps complete. Now Sam can walk down the steps by himself.

Early Voting

With the election coming up, I was eager to cast my vote. We went to the Triangle Town Center a few times to try and early vote - but always found a long line. Since today is the last day to early vote, I decided to try one more time. Sam and I drove up at 10:00 - when they open - and found this enormously long line:
On the right is where the line starts - it wraps back down and around on the left side....
Then it wrapped around that building and down the back side. This was by far the longest line we had encountered - so needless to say, we're going to wait until Nov 4th.

A Quiet Lunch

David and I don't get to eat many meals together without Sam - therefore they tend to be adventures in dodging thrown food and averting hunger tantrums. But today he gave us the gift of a quiet lunch out.
He actually slept through the meal and the ride home. Wow - he DOES love us!
