This past weekend, I met up with the “B” family for a little portrait session at UNC’s beautiful campus. We weren’t quite sure we were even going to be able to meet because of some rainy weather on Friday night, but the skies were clear and it was a beautiful day…once we actually got into place after a bit of traffic.

So today, I say farewell September. We’ll see ya next year.   We took Felicity to her first NC State game. She loved all the music and cheering, but we only lasted until half time.   That said, she’s now a fan of “b-ball” and loves to sit in her daddy’s lap and watch football. This thrills her daddy as he is a huge San Francisco 49ers fan and has suppressed his...
