We had so much fun at the cabin this past week for the family reunion. I can't even remember a time when I've had that much fun. Thanks mom and dad for putting it on.

Here is a post of Bastian:

If you go to this link, you'll see a short video of Bastian. I like the part where he tells the boat to say cheese.

This is the youtube video I just finished for work, though it's much better if you click on the video and watch it at Youtube because of the width issue

We had some friends over last night, so we added a little more to the wall. Alli did MIss Piggie and I started work on The Mask.


Bastian took two pees in the toilet yesterday and followed those up with his first healthy log a couple of hours later. Hooray for him! Too bad for all of you though, we didn't take any pictures.

We're over at Gogo's again for our weekly injection of American Idol....yes, it's a secret pleasure my wife and I share. I remember when we lived in NM all those weeks ago and we saw a youtube video of Adam Lambert singing a remake of some song that we both like and have been major major gay fans ever since. Call me Eve, I don't dare as long as Adam knows how much I love him. "Two snaps in a circle".

Not much new has occurred over the past week. Bastian has made his first friend next door, Abdullah. They are funny together because the other is so kind and Bastian is well....he's a bastard, hence his name. Abdullah's grandparents take care of him while his parents attend ASU's graduate program for biotechnology. Coming from such different backgrounds, it's interesting to see how they play together. I've spent a few hours with his grandparents talking about politics and Pakistan/Afghanistan....I'm not surprised to hear the same longing for peace and equality from them as I have felt having spent months away from our pleasantly high standards of living, and working towards constant diplomacy in my own life. I'm doing a terrible job.

So that's that.

Bastian and B
