Nite Out

First night out since Eli was born!

Babysitter stayed with the kids while Julia and I headed to the art museum amphitheater to see Andrew Bird and Mavis Staples. Bringing an end to the hottest heatwave in NC history, it started pouring on us during Staples' set and continued through most of Bird's. It was still a great show, and halfway into Bird's set we abandoned our umbrellas and found a good spot to enjoy ourselves despite the rain.

Maggie's First Fireworks

We took Maggie and Eli to their first fireworks on July4. Eli was obviously too young to enjoy it, but Maggie had a great time after getting over the initial shock. Raleigh moved their fireworks downtown this year, and we snagged a front row spot, which meant it was super loud. Getting through the downtown traffic afterwards was a nightmare, but I'm just glad Maggie's first fireworks didn't disappoint.
