I've been away for the last 3 weeks due to our whirlwind Christmas Tour. Started in Idaho for the Navy Conference. In between the dull days of being trapped in the hotel room due to a closed pool, Diz was capped to First Class!! Also marked the first time that Rems stayed in a daycare type situation. He did pretty well considering he was in a private battle with his very first tooth. Next stop was Illinois with the Censotti Clan. Here we not only got babied and spoiled by my family, we also celebrated Rems baptism. He was amazing. Shed not one tear and kept his white suit looking very posh. Two hour drive later sees us in Wisconsin with the Beans. Grandma Les taught Rems all the wonders of big people food! From steak and potatoes to mixed berry breakfast smoothies. Rems also got to spend time with his new best friend, the very large, very loud, and very happy Grandpa Bean. During this little visit Rems got his second tooth. And the only thing that really did the trick of calming him was the deep rumbling voice of his grandpa. On this visit we were able to go have a few drinks with an old friend of mine Lisa. It was nice to get out and not have to worry, Rems was finally with family! Back to the Censotti Clan. And things started to blur into fast forward. First Rems got to spend the whole night with his GG while we went out to celebrate my sister, J, birthday. Dinner at Crossroads quickly turned into drinks at the drag show! I swear Petey, J is the one that told them you where a gay navy firefighter!! And then it was Christmas!!! Rems got to meet the rest of the Beans at a wonderful dinner at my Aunt Janets. I also got a fantastic hair cut by my cousin Erin. After dinner we drove to the lions den....Brians house. Christmas eve there is hard to explain. Take a large Irish/Italian family, put them all into a small space and let it fly. Pretty much its just a whole lot of talk, laugh, food, love and wrapping paper!!! Afterwards we went back to GG's, Rems hit the hay and the adults couldn't wait and we ripped open all our gifts! But that was nice, because the next morning we were able to focus 100% on Rems and his presents. Next up......Texas!! Oh how I missed you sunshine. Rems loved Texas! Not only was he able to go outside and touch grass for the first time, the McKeels have 3 cats and 2 dogs.....lots to watch!! Gram was super happy to see her little prince, Grandpop got to show him off at work, Aunt Chopstick smothered him with love and he got to meet Uncle Joel for the first time. Plus we were able to spend the day with two of our buddies from Guam, Pigg and Esme!!! Esme spent the day whispering to Rems in Spanish, which made him LAUGH!! And then it was the 5th and it was time to say goodbye to the sunshine and meet up with our old friend, Rain. And so we are back! Things are gonna take a bit to get back on track. Rems has been going to sleep around 5pm and waking at 3am. And we have a new member of the family, Bastet, a kitten. Scouts not too sure about her yet, but I think it'll be okay. So Hello! Hope you all had wonderful Holidays full of fun, family and love.
