Duke gardens

The kids and I spent the day at Duke today enjoying the gardens, playing some soccer, climbing some trees and watching a women's basketball game. Jeff was still away on his work trip but that didn't stop us from enjoying his alma mater. Emily's friend came with us as well. 

Some monkeys in a tree

Our tree. Jeff and I had a tree while we were in college that we carved in the gardens. We have been unable to locate that tree and the carving through we do acknowledge that 17+ years of tree growth would likely cover it up. Our old one said JB+KB inside a heart. And now we have a new one. 

Aaron & Daddy

Aaron and Daddy having a nice morning hug before work. 

And some serious conversations too. 

"Look at me, I'm a work dude!"

Jeff or Aaron

I found these old pictures of Jeff as a little boy. The resemblance to Aaron is uncanny. I know everyone says that he looks like Jeff all the time, but seeing an age equivalent picture shows it even more so. I'm not sure Aaron has any of my genes because he is so much all Jeff. 

Daddy snuggles

Jeff's flight was cancelled so we got to hang out all day. The kids got some good Daddy snuggles in before we went out to get our Christmas tree.
