Father Daughter Dance and A Big Birthday ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02460

Today was a big day all around. It was not only the Father / Daughter Dance for Feehan but also Eva's 18th birthday. I cannot believe that a young adult is now part of our family. Time has flown by so quickly. We captured our last special photo at the dance, we have always made a moment to take photos with our dessert ever since our first dance at SMSH.

This year we did a special coordination of our outfits. We got matching vests and ties. The sets even came with tie tacks, cufflinks and pocket squares. We then ordered special Transformers tie clips that we couldn't actually use with our ties because the vest came up too high so we clipped them to the lapels of our vests.

We did a quick celebration of Eva with gifts before heading to the dance. Allison and I each got her a tea infuser. Allison got her one of a swan butt and I got a frog that hangs off the side of the teacup. Eva was excited about those and 3 more bags of her favorite tea. We're going to do a big birthday dinner celebration for both kids in December when we go to the Salem Cross Inn for their Fireside Feast.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
