Last time we left off. The mom's were here...
Mom and Domino
Mom and I in Harvard Square
We saw Blue Man Group = Rad

We spent our second Thanksgiving with the Woodwards on Beacon Hill in a tiny, swanky apartment playing board games and watching football. Then Christmas.
Since it was just me, Jen and Domino we really had nowhere to go for Christmas. Luckily Anna, JT and Mike Pierce had us over for dinner at their lakeside house in Worcester (pronounced Wooster). I randomly befriended JT on the golf course fifteen years ago in LA while visiting Grandpa Kenny and we have fallen out of touch but the food was great and it was nice to catch up with them.

We've pretty much had our heads in the sand this last month or so. Jen has been busy at the hospital and is having some communication issues with one of the doctors.
Ian Creelman came to visit us in January and we had a blast. We hooked up with Andy Jones and had an epic night of Catan. Unfortunately I don't remember it too well but here is a summary:
There also was vodka and scotch (not pictured)
However we are both ready to leave. It is beautiful here and we have enjoyed real seasons.
In the end have come to realize that we are homebodies and not city folk. The hustle and bustle of life in a city seems falsely glamorous and hollow, but there is good food and cool stuff to do.
I have had to say goodbye to the family I work with after 3 months. It was tough to go and I will miss working with my kiddo. Here are two pictures of me at work, yes working:
Me and robot on mustache backwards day.
me and Monkey, chillin
The kiddo loved to take pictures and I used to do funny ones as a reward to motivate him. Funny, right? Maybe not.
Domino has been adjusting nicely and getting more confident and loving everyday. He's been playing, sleeping and even getting his first eye exam (although I think HE thought he was at the dentist's office)
Oh! And we experienced our first blizzard! It sucked!
The novelty of a white Christmas and snowy wintertime is nice for about 2 days. Then the novelty wears off, the snow gets dirty and disgusting, your shoes are wet, there's traffic (even more so) everywhere and the buses and subways run late. Time to get out of here!
See you soon. We miss you all and love you.
Oh and the Niners should have won the Superbowl.
