A Day with Friends

Day 29:

Well, I have to say, you gave us a bit of a break last night, Conor. Though it's not going so well tonight - as you can see by this blog post being done at 10 minutes after 1:00am! Still, today was a very low key day - and the weather dictated as much. It was a dark and bleary, rainy day. My time was spent going through the house to get it in order for dinner this evening with friends as close as family - the Lunsfords and your Uncle Justin. While I was cleaning up, your Mother was cleaning out. She went through the entire kitchen and got rid of at least a couple hundred pounds of junk! Old pots and pans, old food, unused candles... Chucked it all. Kinda liberating for her actually.

Around 7:00pm this evening the Lunsfords showed up with Justin coming in right behind them. We talked about you, your stay in the NICU, the differences between raising a preemie vs. a full term baby, and how soon it's gonna be before we have you on a horse! Anyway, your G-Ma Marsha was completely smitten with you. You see, Marsha has known me since I was 16, and pretty well too. Whenever I've had trouble up here in NoVA, they've been there for me like my own parents would. So there's always been a special place in my heart for Gil and Marsha Lunsford I'm proud to have then as a part of your future, Conor. And you're going to just LOVE the cabin on the Circle L Farms in Highland County.

Anyhow, great dinner tonight. Truckloads of fun (and wine) and so I'm turning in, Conor the Lion Heart... The weather gets better tomorrow... Maybe we'll go for a long walk? It'd be our 1st! Stay tuned...

Love you, Boy.
