-sam (my not quite two-year-old nephew) has a tradition of giving every one kisses before he goes to bed. i guess while he has been living out in kansas, his kisses have been a little bit more selective, so i didn't expect him to be quite so willing to give them out to kevin. during his rounds to every one before bed last night, he came up to me to give me a kiss, taking his pacifier out of his mouth because he knew that i would not accept such a barrier to our bed time kiss. them i said, "go give kevin a kiss!" and he ran right over to him and planted a big wet one on his cheek. it was so wonderful.
-we are out of bedrooms at my parents house, so i had to sleep on the couch last night. milo slept in kevin's room with him, but we figured moses could be trusted to roam the house last night. even though she could have gone anywhere and done anything, she still chose to cuddle up with me on the tiny little couch and sleep. i think she must like me or something.
-my brother-in-law kory, kevin, and i played scrabble last night. at one point, i only had to use one letter (the letter "a") and it gave me forty-two points on the board. i still lost the game.
-sleeping on the couch has it's benefits. although i was woken up by my mom quite early, she was cooking, and my nose was filled with delicious smells immediately.
-kevin has a stocking over my family's fire place now. it was the first thing i noticed when i waked in the door, and it was lovely.
