Awkward

   I really didn’t know what to write about this picture, but it was too good of a shot to not show you. That is my son and his sister climbing in one of my favorite parts of my farm, the stone quarry. A lot of my childhood memories are centered around this place, from climbing rock piles to skipping stones to finding fossils to the inevitable beer parties and sexual endeavors of the teen years. Of course, I didn’t mention the latter two to the kids yet as they will figure that out at their own pace.

  I don’t get to keep Kira too often, so I tried to make the most of what little time we had together while my ex went on a well deserved vacation. Sadly, it had to be a week that I had a 4 month project due, but I went in at 4:30 a.m. so I could get as much fun time in before bed. She’s leaving tomorrow and her brother and I will miss her and the extra chaos around here.
