Go Big or Go Home

Day 333:

Well, following my post last night, Boy'O, the night got progressively more interesting!  Interesting in that the scotch came out as well as the Cuban cigars!  There's almost nothing in the world I enjoy more than a scotch and a cigar amongst friends, Boy'O...  Sitting on in the cool clear night, discussing everything from international politics to the history of the National Football League with my British expat friend, Ade, we chatted, drank, and smoked the night to the wee hours... And it wouldn't even end there!

Following patio time with the boys we made our way to the billiards room in the basement where I could assert my poolroom dominance on the group.  And by this point you and Mommy were both well asleep and I was good and primed for a late night run on the table.  So much in fact that I must have played 10 games and never lost one...  The only trouble with that is though, I suddenly realized it was going on 3:00am!  A winning streak is a winning streak, Conor.  It shouldn't be given up just because you get a little tired!  But finally I'd had enough and so I made my way to our room at the Buckingham's to catch a few zee's...

Today for me Boy'O, the Sun came up way to soon...  Though with a splash of coffee and a bagel I came back to life and managed to get the car packed, you packed, Mommy squared away, and off and away back to Virginia.  The remainder of the day would be spent doing things around the house to prepare for the coming week and even the following in that we'll be out of town again for some time.

With all of it though you're getting bigger, stronger, faster...  You're really starting to get this crawling thing in your head and you even sat on a little potty trainer tonight!  The days are flying by and you're doing more and more; growing day by day from baby to little boy.  And it's amazing, Son.  Every step of this journey is amazing.

I love you, Boy'O.
