Well, I’m happy to say things are going well here. We had a good weekend and a really nice Father’s Day. Rye and I got Don some good steaks and some nice wine and we grilled out and swam in the pool, worked in the garden and overall had a really nice day.
At the end of the evening we all got on the computer and looked at old pictures and wondered where all of the time has gone. When I married Don nearly 6 years ago Rye was 7 years old and about half the size of Don. Now, after measuring them yesterday, Rye is as tall as Don and already has a much bigger build and shoe size than Don and Rye’s hips are about 2 inches above Don’s. So soon we’ll all be looking up to Rye. Way up. We are already starting to feel small in comparison. It’s incredible.
We’re going to be like the Lilliputian couple with the giant kid.
Saturday night we went and saw the movie ‘Diary Of A Wimpy Kid’. The movie was really good but I had to wonder where in the world this kid went to public school where the kids are able to be that innocent still in the 6th grade. It made for a great movie and a great thought but I wish my son could go to that public school where girls still wear braided pig tails in middle school and boys still wear sweater vests. I must be living in the wrong part of the world. Public school in the rural south where we live is much more hard-core. Even in the 6th grade. Regardless, the movie was really good.
And that’s about it here. We are going tent camping this coming weekend in the mountains and we are all excited about that. It really feels like summer here and it’s nice.
A long, hot summer.
