How do you spell "Happy"?

There have been a rash of chess game requests at my house lately.

OK, to be totally honest, I don't like playing chess. I know how to play, I've known since I was a kid, but when I tune into my feelings...well, the inner me says, "uh-uh". I'm much more of a Scrabble girl. Now that game makes me feel good (almost every time).

But even though I made it perfectly clear to my family that I don't like the game, each of them managed to convince me to play them. So I did, under duress.

I played the big guy...I won.

Then I played Dave...I won.

Lastly the little guy...you got it, I won.


But this chess-winnin' girl just wanted to play Scrabble.


Me: "Will you play Scrabble with me?"

Little guy: "Sure."


And we played. And he won his first game ever against one of his parents. And I was so happy!

Trick or Treat

Fifteen years ago today my little guy was born.  He was rather late, biding his time, apparently waiting for the coolest holiday to come around.  Early Halloween morning I went into labor and after a night of pacing in my hallway, taking fitful "naps", and squeezing Dave's hand harder than he thought was possible, my little guy finally showed up.  And not so many hours later, when day turned to night and our doorbell began ringing repeatedly, Dave surprised neighborhood trick-or-treaters with a glimpse of our hours old little one.

Have to say that Halloween was all treat that year.

Happy Birthday, Little Guy!!!!
