Duke Children's Hospital Story

I haven't posted any content that I haven't created on this blog until now. When I saw this video I sort of felt like I had a hand in making it since my insurance company has paid for a few salaries at Duke Children's Hospital over the last few years. Really, though, we share a little pride in what is being done at Duke Children's Hospital not because of what we've paid, but rather what we've been a part of there.

Cowboy & Cowgirl

Coincidentally, Autumn was playing a cowgirl game on the Wii when these pictures were taken.

Noah's 3rd Birthday Party

This is the Lightning McQueen cake that my talented wife made.

One of Noah's favorite gifts - the Cars carwash.

Gramma also made him a Cars pillowcase that he loves.

Autumn's 5th Birthday Party

The costume/dress-up party started off with story time.

There was a nails and tattoos table...

There was a makeup table...

And there was a hair table.

Daniel got roped into painting nails.

The kids exhausted themselves in the bounce house...

Then they refueled.

Autumn cheesing at the head of the table.

The men played cornhole...

And the ladies chatted.

Noah was thrilled to be getting Gram and Pop's undevided attention.
