I felt a kick! Though I'm not quite a father yet, you gave me a nice little kick to say hello on Sunday. A wonderful little wakeup and awesome "Half-Way-to-Being-a-Father" Father's Day gift. Mom and I have been busy planning your shower/registry and putting the finishing touches on the attic (curtains and wall decor) but things look like they're FINALLY starting to calm down for us.
We had a surprise shower for Uncle Christian (and Olive) at work and it was a lot of fun! He was genuinely surprised which doesn't happen much. Aunt Erica made a surprise appearance to seal the deal.
We went to the Alamo in Yonkers (at the time of writing this, I sincerely hope this place is open when you're old enough to appreciate it; I can't wait to take you there!) to see "Inside Out" and it was great. Mom was having some tummy trouble, so she didn't enjoy the experience much with Uncle Christian, Aunt Erica and I, but the movie was great. Another solid Pixar winner.
The United States Women National Team beat Columbia last night 2-0 and knocking them out of the World Cup. They'll go on to play China on Friday - VERY exciting. Uncle Dave and I are going to the Red Bulls game tomorrow so that will be a lot of fun.
I bought an Xbox One today along with Batman: Arkham Knight. While video games are NOT NEARLY as important in my life as they once were, old habits die hard. Mom can be an incredibly understanding and supportive person when you make your perspective clear to her, and she gets that video games will kind of always be there. I hope we can enjoy some together one day (especially Rock Band).
What's On Dad's Mind? We're chipping away at the registry. I want to make sure we have safe, useful, practical, and fun stuff for your arrival! There are SO MANY options, it's driving Mom and I a little crazy. We'll figure it out... I hope. Other than that, I can't wait until we go Williamsburg next week for the 4th. It's going to be A LOT of fun.
