Happy Thanksgiving

Carrie, Owen and I were over at my dad and Carol's place for Thanksgiving. We had a significant chunk of my dad's side show up and it was great to see them all. Almost everyone met Owen for the first time and I'm very happy that now so many people who I love and care about have been able to meet my son.

This trip has been interesting for us because we're back where we grew up and we have a kid. In Phoenix it's easy to follow the continuum that led to Owen and it has little relationship to our youth. But when we step into the time capsule that is Federal Way, we're reminded of the lives we lived when we were young and we look down and there's Owen. It adds another dimension to parenthood. In Phoenix we really only think about the present and future, but here the parenthood experience is infused with the past. It's good; I guess you can go home.

Fun with pastry.


There's a new crop on the grow and I'm so happy that my grandma gets to know them and vise versa.
