God Put A Smile On My Face

After picking Matt up at Duke, we drove down to Charlotte to eat wonderful cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. Then we went to see Coldplay. I can't tell you how many people told me that they didn't know who this is. What a fabulous concert. Absolutely the best one I have been too.

 Please, please come back. We would be in Paradise.

A "Dukeified' Summer

Yes, I realize that isn't really a word, but part of our house has turned into a Duke sanctuary. Matt's room is now decorated in Duke University gear. I am grateful the UT stuff didn't stick, but at least go with Kentucky.

The boys traded rooms, so Matt is back in what once was the nursery. Trystan is in the trundle.

Coach K spoke daily to the campers!

In addition to the new decor, Matt also attended Coach K's basketball camp at Duke during the end of June/ first of July. WOW. It was one of the most organized check-ins that we have ever had. It really put me at ease with the way everything was planned, and I had no problems leaving my "baby" 5 1/2 hours away. He had a great time and played basketball from or had activities from 7:30 AM-10:30 PM. He also brought home Duke basketballs, posters, jerseys, shorts, t-shirts, and a lifetime of memories.

You should have seen his eyes light up the first time Matt went into Cameron Indoor

I'm Not a Superhero, I'm Trystan Nicklaus Tullock

For TNT's third birthday we decided to have a birthday party at Funville in Greeneville. Funville offers party rooms and inflatables for the kids. Since the weather in March is unpredictable, indoors was the way to go. Also it didn't hurt that we didn't have to clean up before the party or after.

We decided to go with a Superhero theme and I used Amazon to find these two-sided masks for each kid. I then cut out felt capes and put a symbol with each kids initial on the back to wear during the party.
