I've been so busy the last couple days; it's been a blur of family, games, puzzles, movies, toys, and repeated snow blowing.
As predicted Alan liked the punching bag the best:
He's got quite a left hook. Now maybe he'll stop ambushing his papa with his karate moves, but I'm not betting on it.Brian was all about two things:
The white board in his room:
On his bed there he sat his stuffed animals. He's their teacher. I could watch that for hours.The other thing he loved was the scrabble game:
That's his very first scrabble board (Yes, "HECK" was my word and, sure, it's probably not in the scrabble dictionary but it's an Utah word for sure). I've probably played a dozen games with him since Christmas morning and he's pretty good for a 6-year-old. Actually... Brian and I are about equally matched in Scrabble; he's already called me on misspellings twice. They should really have never given me a doctorate :-).Christmas morning we had family over for brunch.
I always feel a bit like we're caving in to expectations each time we serve our guests quiche :-).Now we're off to sled and then celebrate the last day of Hanukkah. Then New Years... This has to be the best time of year.

is that quiche i see? looks like a fun time.
I hope you had a great holiday. It looks like your kids sure had fun.
I intend to serve quiche this week. Pay no attention to the gay behind the curtain. ;)
Sounds like this holiday season is really fun. My youngest daughter does the teaching thing with her stuffed animals and dolls and the white board. She loves having a white board.
I think I'm about on equal footing with you and Brian on Scrabble.
You are blessed with an action hero and a philosopher. You're a lucky man Scot. A happy Christmas indeed.
That said, consider yourself challenged to no-holds-barred Scrabble anytime. If you've got a Ph.D, so much the better! I can take you.
Catching up your week's posts, sounds like a wonderful holiday for you, too. I love the white board on the wall idea, have got to try that. Your boys are just SO adorable!
We're here in Utah for a few days, so if you still would like to get together, just let us know--guyberr@gmail.com.
We totally had quiche too!
I want a punching bag... jealous!
I want you to know that your post make me want to have kids soooooooooooo bad. Good thing I am gay because otherwise I might just go knock some girl up. In my current situation it will take much more effort and therefore force me to be more ready.
I regularly cave when it comes to serving brunch, I mean, we do a Moho New Years Day Brunch and are planning Eggs Benedict--so yeah, You're not the only one that caves!
Q.U."is that quiche i see?"
Of course. Who'd go to brunch at a gay man's house and not expect quiche?
A.Y.W. I hope you had a great holiday.
We did, and I hope you did as well.
Java I intend to serve quiche this week. Pay no attention to the gay behind the curtain. ;)
Would that be Indigo spreading our gay secrets? :-)
"My youngest daughter does the teaching thing with her stuffed animals and dolls and the white board."
Isn't that the best? I could spy on that for hours.
Thank you Alan and I agree; I feel pretty luck... lucky enough to take you on in Scrabble! (and lose almost gracefully :-))
Guy, great, I'll talk to the head of the household and get back to you.
Hidden We totally had quiche too!
Man, it's just one of those stereotypes that's not worth fighting :-).
Kurt "Good thing I am gay because otherwise I might just go knock some girl up."
Fathers, lock up your daughters; gay men looking to be fathers are on the prowl :-).
"In my current situation it will take much more effort and therefore force me to be more ready."
Exactly. It's a pain to go through those many trials before parenthood, but it's a refining fire. I'm sure you'll be a great dad some day.
"I mean, we do a Moho New Years Day Brunch and are planning Eggs Benedict"
Ooo, You could dye the hollandaze sauce pink. But a MoHo Brunch?..
