It has been a long (and messy) holiday season. Everybody has been incredibly flexible considering the massive home renovations to the three bathrooms, kitchen and the den. Hopefully by the end of the holiday vacation all of the construction will be complete.
Regardless we have found time for fun. Over Thanksgiving we had Ryan and Christian Brewer over for the weekend. All the boys got along really well. It also provided Mayu and me with some insight into how much effort goes into having a child to parent ratio above 1. Yoinks! More importantly we enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at Andy and Kelly Fortmann's house.
As guests at the Fortmann house we were lucky enough to run into my Naval Academy friend Pat who flew into the Virginia Beach area on a Navy C-130. Why he had to fly on Thanksgiving is a longer story. The next morning we all went to the airport to sit in the cockpit and check out the cargo area. Needless to say, the boys went crazy. After visiting the plane Steve, Kathy, Bruce, the Brewer Boys and Taku all went to the waterfront trails (aka "Pirate Island") at Botanical Gardens. The rest of the weekend was filled with meals, naps, trains and bedtimes. Good times.
Apparently Mayu didn't believe that Halloween, Thanksgiving, her birthday, Christmas and New Years were enough celebrations in two months so she decided to birth Taizo in early December just to spice things up. This last weekend we celebrated his first year in Casa di Cesari. He enjoyed the pumpkin apple cake and kept himself busy with his five birthday balloons.
