Meeting Cole
The most important update of them all is the meeting of Cole Ian Wethington. Yesterday, we got to spend some time seeing my brother and his family, including his newest addition Cole. What a beautiful baby boy, and a definite Wethington! Of course, while Cole was the star, Ava had us smiling and laughing the whole time we were there. She is such a joy to be around. And seriously, the curls are way too cute. Everyone is doing well and we never get to see them enough. You can see more pictures HERE.
Along with my brother and his family, we spent lunch with my in-laws. Not only was this an opportunity to pick up the kids, who had spent a week having fun with in Los Angeles and San Diego, but we were able to celebrate Heather’s Dad’s Birthday. He’s now 40 (in Hexidecimal… you do the math). We really didn’t do much other than hear about the weeks adventures and have lunch together, but it was a nice to see family.
Since I seem to be going backwards through time here, I’ll be careful not to mess with the spacetime continuum.
Saturday was Heather’s 20 year High School reunion. Now that was interesting. It was a reality check. You can wonder how you stack up, if you’d like, but everyone ages. No one was immune from 20 years. Period. It wasn’t a fancy reunion, it wasn’t even semi-fancy. It was very casual, in the courtyard of a business complex, next to a restaurant. Mexican food was served and the drinks, well beer and margaritas, flowed. I would say most people had a good time. Unless you were already friends with someone, I don’t think that the reunion sparked any new friendships or rekindled old ones… It was just a chance to catch-up, I guess.
The previous 3 days we’re a whirlwind of activity; A long motorcycle ride with my wife, a great dinner, painting and readying a room for Harrison, and a full day of Hank’s Homemade. I didn’t make any toffee, just tried to locate a commercial kitchen and find out costs for taking part in the local Farmer’s Markets. It’s a good thing that I did that the first day, as it was very depressing.
Oh yeah, and against my better judgment, I joined FaceBook. I can’t help thinking of this IT Crowd episode as my wife and I sit on the couch with our laptops in our laps. Apparently, resistance truly is futile.

[…] that today would be a difficult day for celebrating. Which is one of the reasons we took a motorcycle ride and had such a nice dinner on Friday. However, we did head out tonight as a family and ate at Chili’s. The food is normally pretty […]
