Vacation, all I ever wanted...

Elysia's favorite Disney character used to be Goofy, but after the cruise, it's Tigger. She spent every day bouncing and doing her best impression of him! And thankfully for Mommy and Daddy, this meant she slept like a rock every single night ( Read more... )

Sounds like the Hughes family had a great vacation, and I'm glad to see that since I know you needed it.

You need a new after-work hobby? I might be able to help with that depending on your interests. My interests are more physical but if you want someone to go jogging, biking, or something like that with you know how to reach me.

Will you have the pictures in your office? I can't wait to see.

We did!

Jogging, biking, anything like that sounds interesting. I wouldn't mind having a bike, actually, and I can ride around with Elysia then when she gets her first one! Is there any sort of bike you'd recommend?

Yes, I will! They're the ones currently being carried around with me! Along with a bundle of younger pictures of Elysia, I was in a mood to have them in my pockets too.

That's excellent!

Hmm, a mountain bike is good for rougher terrain, but most racing bikes are good for speed and city. How much are you willing to spend is the real question.

I can't wait to see them, I'm sure your little princess is getting so big.

I'll probably be using it just for the city, so just a racing bike. Just a couple hundred, it's just for fun. I'm not competing in a triathlon. Hey, that's an idea! But maybe it's not for right now.

She is. So fast, too. In a way it's nice she can amuse herself sometimes now, and tries to help, but I miss when she was so small and wiggly and the little toothless grin she had!

So she moved from a giant dog to an ungodly bouncing tiger. Sounds promising.

There's something to be said for men that dress up for a theme park. Careful daddy-O don't know who's really lurking behind those giant costumes.

It wears her out for naps and she's happy. And it's so adorable! So Daddy's happy with it too.

It's not like we leave her alone with them. That was a family vacation, there's no point to sticking her in day care all day! I may not know the person who stands behind them in the checkout line at the grocery store either, but Elysia isn't left alone with them, and we're careful about being vigilant. So really, we don't have anything to worry about.

Exactly how bad is the pile on my desk?

I'm sure you and the Mrs. can get a little R&R when she's not floating around like some fly on the wall. Can be quite the pisser on the parade if you get my drift.

Hey man I'm just saying. Those are some crazy assholes that get paid to put your kid on a roller coaster.

Mmmmm....think it multiplied from last week.

Peace and quiet is nice, of course.

She's not big enough to go on roller-coasters yet. But Daddy can't wait! Gracia doesn't like them, so if Elysia goes, I have someone to ride with!

I don't like paperwork. And Bradley's in love with it. There's no balance...

Well.. at least you guys had fun.

If you need a companion on the streetwork, let me know. I've been doing more paperwork than I ever want to see again.

Thanks! It was very much fun! How are you doing?

You're quite welcome with the streetwork. And is it just me, or does everyone have more paper on their desks than normal? I think some of these forms are unnecessary. More paper airplanes, though, are needed. We have have the solution to all of our problems right in front of us!
