Thanks be to Grandparents

Day 259:

Well Conor, I'm finally home.  After almost three days on the road, tons of rain and gusty winds, driving from coast to coast in the great state of Florida, I came home to Virginia.  I was only able to peek in on you while you were napping upon arrival, but that would have to be enough.

Needless to say I had tons of work to do, Son, so sitting at the house in the afternoon wasn't even an option.  I had to drop off my gear, grab my keys, and head into the office.  Arriving around 1:00pm I was weary from travel (and even more so now) but determined to get some things done ahead of the 3 day weekend...  Still, as determined and as focussed as I could be, it was hard not to think about getting home in the evening to hang out with you...

As mentioned before, this week is the week that your Nanny, Ms Zeny, takes off for the week and so we've been hodgepodging daycare for you all week.  Mommy on Monday, Breanna on Tuesday, and today, your Grandparents!  In fact, todays' picture is in tribute to your Grandpa K9 and his service to our United States Marine Corps.  Your MeMeow bought you this bib and I just had to put it on you!  Though here's the deal, Son.  With all due respect to Marines everywhere, if you're joining the corps, Son, you're doing it with a degree and then heading through OCS.  No conversations, no arguments.  I'd be so proud should you serve the country, Son.  But you'll do it as an educated man and an officer.

Tangent, sorry...  Anyhow, you were in good hands today, as you will be tomorrow, and then you're mine all mine on Friday!  Though now, I'm just done, Conor. Wiped out and in need of a good night's sleep.  And so off I go.

Until tomorrow, Boy'O.  I love you...
