Well it's been an action-packed four days since my last post. Friday night my sister Maegan and Bruce arrived. It was great to see them and Connor loves them a lot too. We played four (!!!!) games of Catan in less than twenty (!!!!!!!) hours. Becca settled twice and I settled twice, though I admit Bruce was robbed. Robbed of his sheep and oar, robbed of settling the highly variable land of Catan, and robbed of glory.
Saturday we took Connor to a surprise b-day party for Robert and Venus. He made some little playmates and experienced wii (sp?) for the first time.
Sunday was J-Del (Jason's Deli to the un-initiated) and friends over for a quick visit. Quick turned into long as cloudy outside turned into torrential rainfall. We got rained in and had a blast with them. Connor's godfather now heads to Lala Land (L.A.) to pursue film and television stuff. But he will leave us with Jordan who seems promising as a Catan companion.
Monday Connor was teething but after he felt better we headed to the Greenbelt for a long hike. We went about three miles. Connor fell asleep after the first mile and slept the rest of the way. The green belt was rushing with water and falls and was just great. Practically no one out there but us.
Then we came upon a tree that I chickened out on climbing because it was a) seven feet to get started b) covered with fire ants and c) soaking wet
But Becca wouldn't let me chicken out, began speaking in parables, and somehow cajoled me into it by talking about my jumping abilities, which really aren't all that great. She even video taped it for me...
Me failing, then failing again, then succeeding to jump into a tree video...
From the greenbelt it was off to Whole Foods and My Fit Foods, nap time, then a trip to the Y for swimming. Becca then watched some Gay's Anatomy (not a typo) and we called it a night.
Today I'm at work and headed the kickball championship. Tomorrow is Beck's b-day and another day of family fun. What a life!
