We recently (last weekend) enjoyed a visit by Natalie, Jay and the munchkins. Despite the fact that I am bogged down in the middle of a semester and spent a good chunk of the time on campus or in our office room working on projects, it was great to have them. Nicole had someone to talk chick-stuff to, I watched most of Eragon with Jay (Nicole won't watch that and many other movies that I like) and I was constantly amused by 2 and 4-year-old-isms. Every morning when I got up, and when I came home from school, or when I came out of the office after a while, I was greeted by Chelsea's cheerful little, "Hi Awix!" Every so often while working on my projects, Jayden would wander by and say, "What your doing, Awix?" That, combined with his cheerful, "Hey! What your name is?" when my Mom stopped by with our pumpkins, took me back to my (much) younger days growing up on Army bases and hearing the same kind of phrasing from my (older than Jayden) friends.
We had a great time while they were here. Nicole and I introduced Natalie and Jay to "Munchkin", our current favorite time-sink, we watched a couple of movies together, and Jay brought some of his tasty chili. So thanks for coming guys, and come back any time.
Some of my favorite pics from the visit:
Jayden knows good footwear when he sees it (when you're that small it doesn't matter which foot you put them on)
Clearly this is someone who knows what is coming next...
Who doesn't like cupcake batter?
