New Addition
type: item
description: We have a new addition to the family. Say hello to Cosmo! He is a black lab mix that we rescued from the Reidsville Animal Shelter. He is very lucky. There was a parvo outbreak at the shelter two days after we adopted him. All the other animals were euthanized. He is about a year and a half and is very playful. He is also doing very well with Caroline.

Are You Sure That's Rice?
type: item
description: We gave Caroline her first taste of "real" food last week. Look how cute she is in her high chair. She even helped with the first spoonful. I think she's caught on that this is some strange rice. Here she's telling daddy that she's not too sure about this. It looks like there's more on her face than in her mouth. Now she's just relieved it's over.

Caroline's Firsts
type: item
description: Caroline has been traveling this past month. She's been to the beach, Duke Gardens, Disney World, Epcot, Clearwater, and a concert in the park. Here is the evidence. This is Caroline's first visit to the beach. She visited Surfside Beach with her mommy and her step-grandmother. Here she is at Duke Gardens with Drew and Ella, the progeny of the (in)famous Doug and Melissa. This is as close to Duke as her father will allow. Here she is in her first sun dress. This is her first trip to visit her great-aunts, Peggy and Lu. She's preparing for her first kiss....from her cousin Jonah. Coolin' it with mom and dad. Technically not a first, but, hey, we run the blog. Her first outdoor concert (post-utero). First visit to Clearwater to see her great grandmother Sara. This is her first trip to Disney World. Here we see her on It's A Small World. Notice the detail in the robots from around the world. Please hum the song for full effect. Still on It's A Small world. Still hogging the picture. First visit with her great aunt Ginny. A little rest after her first beach shopping trip. Aren't outlet malls great?

Caroline Has Arrived!!!
type: item
description: After much anticipation, Caroline has arrived. Her full name is Caroline Leigh Davis and she was born at 6:25 am on June 16, 2005. She weighed a whopping 9 lbs. 14 oz. and was 22 1/2 inches long. We plan to have a detailed entry on the whole birth process, but here are some pictures for now. We also have an Ofoto album you can view. Here she is in the nursery just after being born. She's still in the nursery, but she's now had her bath. Since Jennifer had a c-section, Caroline had to wait for her first meal. Her fist looked pretty good at this point. Here's the beautiful mother and her new daughter. Jennifer had just come back from recovery. Here's the new family. Here she is with her grandmother Joan. This is Caroline with her great-grandmother Sara. Caroline with her Aunt Megan and Aunt Abby. Here she is in her carrier at home after having ridden in a car for the first time. She doesn't seem too impressed. Finally, Caroline is sleeping in her crib after a long day.

New Ultrasound
type: item
description: We went for another ultrasound today. They checked out the baby girl and she is fine. She weighs 4 lbs. 7 oz. and is the 50% percentile for weight. You can't get more normal than that. Her brain and major organ measurements were also all normal. They tried to get a good picture of her face to do a 3d, but she was being very shy. The best picture we got (i.e. you can tell what it is) was of her hand. Here it is:

National Champions
type: item
description: Wow!! What a game! Actually, I thought they were in control for almost the whole game. People kept talking about the fact that Carolina would need to play as a team in order to win. That they would have to be "on". Nobody seemed to consider that maybe Illinois would not have their best night. Nobody thought that maybe there was even more pressure on the Illini than on Carolina. Illinois came extremely close to having a perfect season and, hey, they were supposed to win the national championship. Nobody seemed to think that maybe they would not shoot well or make stupid mistakes, but they did. And Carolina made them pay. Carolina played an awesome game. Sean May was unstoppable and Felton played as well as he has all year. For a team that doesn't play defense, they certainly disrupted Illiois' offense. They got in passing lanes, they contested shots. Even though it was because Felton got his second foul, the zone defense they played in the first half really bothered Illinois. I was in school in 1993 when they won the last time. It's hard to describe what Franklin Street is like after a win like that. I'm just so happy for Roy Williams. The title seemed so elusive and yet, after only two years back home and with a team that he didn't even recruit, he got it. Go Heels!!!

New House
type: item
description: Well, we bought a new house. Jennifer looked at six places last Thursday and narrowed it to two. I went last Friday and looked at the two and we chose one. Saturday came the negotiation. They accepted our offer around 10pm Saturday night. It has a main level with a formal living room, dining room, kitchen, den, master bedroom, and two other bedrooms. It also has a basement. The finished part has a den, a "bedroom" which will be an office, and a laundry room. The unfinished part is about 800 sq. ft. of storage. It also has a deck off the dining room and a patio off the basement. The back yard is fenced (it even has two separate fenced places, one for each dog). We close April 29th. We are hoping the move the same day or soon after. Cross your fingers that we sell the townhouse soon! Our new address will be: 3301 Turfwood Dr. Greensboro, NC 27410 Here are some pictures:

Top-Down Days
type: item
description: I love top-down days. Today was in the upper 60's and sunny. A perfect top-down day. Let me explain. I drive a convertible Saab. Any day that I can drive with the top down is a good day. For me, a top-down day is one that is sunny and at least in the mid 60's. If it is cloudy then it really needs to be at least 70. Another great thing is to drive with the top down at night. Of course, this only works in the summer when it's still 75-80 degrees.
