Late Night with Roy
UNC had their annual Late Night with Roy festivities last night to kick off the 2008-2009 basketball season. The team did a bunch of silly skits then suited up for a scrimmage. Not much to see, right? 15,000+ showed up to the Dean Dome last night to watch. It was almost full to the rafters for a scrimmage!

Monday Night Football
This picture pretty much sums up my night at Foxborough.
The fans were great and the stadium is unbelievable. All in all, i had a great time....It was just too bad the Broncos didn't show up to play.

The tree comes down
After months of begging and pleading, we finally got a company to come out and take down the tree from our back yard. Service out here isn't quite what we're used to, but these guys were great. They were in and out in under an hour and did a great job. Here are a couple of before and after pix:
They brought in 3 trucks to handle the job: a crane, a log hauler, and a chipper. And by chipper, I mean, "one bad machine". They chipped almost the entire tree - it was a BIG tree. One of the guys rode the end of the crane up to the top. He attached the cable then cut it off in 3 sections. He just waited at the top strapped to the tree while they chipped up the sections. It took no time at all. Here is the beastly crane:
Here goes the top:

Then into the chipper they go:
And here is the yard after our friend came down:

Hurricanes at Duke
Emily and I went to the Duke/Miami game this afternoon with a couple of friends from the neighborhood. Duke led at halftime, but the Hurricanes got things under control in the 3rd quarter and cruised to an easy win.
After the big win:
Show 'em your "U"!

Cutler's first bath
He wasn't terribly impressed, but the boy had his first bath today. Emily and Adelle helped for about the first 5 minutes then proceeded to drive Mom crazy. Good times.....

Cutler comes home
The hospital let us leave this afternoon and we're glad to be home. Cutler is adjusting to his new surroundings and looking forward to a weekend of college and NFL football. 
Both girls are excited about their little brother, especially Adelle who has embraced her new role in life....

9 lbs 12 oz
21 inches
For the record - He was NOT named for a certain quarterback who masterfully leads a certain team from Denver. The name was mommy's idea and daddy happily obliged.
Mommy and baby are healthy and happy. Here is a shot from just after he was born. Everything went according to plan - the epidural worked great and mommy only had to push a couple of times. There were no complications with the labor, delivery or after care.
The happy family.....
The girls were excited beyond belief about their new little toy....um, I mean brother. They are both very attentive and look forward to being great big sisters.
Adelle finally gets to hold her prize.....

Broncos win!
Broncos 16
Bucs 13
They weren't in the orange jerseys, but the defense played like the orange crush today. It's a nice change.....

Fall soccer
The girls started fall soccer a few weeks ago. Technically it's Fall out here, but we're still in the 80's and sunny every day. Adelle loves to put on her gear and has a great time in practice. She just runs back and forth during the games, but it's good exercise. She's not really into scrapping with the other kids - she just loves the uniform.
Emily is doing much better this year. Her switch to an all-girls team has made a massive difference in her play. She's much more aggressive now that she doesn't have any 10 year-old Chrissy wanna-be's slide tackling at her knees. The girls are just as aggressive as the boys, but they have a much better sense of the rules and regulations. Emily teamed up with her good friend Saren on a goal last weekend. She had a shot, but passed to Saren for the uncontested goal. Bottom line - she's having a great time and getting good, consistent exercise.
