magic moment - scrabble
Jul 6th, 2008 by indigo-daisy
My number two son will leaving on Tuesday to stay with my number one son and his girlfriend in Palo Alto California for a month.
I had to get in some good one on one time before he leaves so spent the day playing Scrabble and Nintendo Wii. He kicked my butt in everything, but it was so much fun spending time with him. Tomorrow we will go for lunch together and since it has been so hot, a milk shake sounds nice.
He is going to be dearly missed when he leaves and the house will seem so empty without him.
He is quite lucky to have an older brother who really wants to spend time with him, and a girlfriend in-law who goes out of her way to make him feel comfortable and at home during his stay. It isn’t all fun and games though at big brothers. Much of the trip will be spent preparing for the SAT’s as big brother wants to increase his chances of getting a good scholarship.
The next time I will see him will be at my parents home in Minneapolis for the big anniversary celebration. Convinced hubby to make the trip with me so that was another magic moment for me!
I like that term: “girl-friend in-law”. I can think of several people I can now apply to them as being in-laws.
It is great that your boys have such a great relationship. After I married & moved away, I attempted to form a relationship w/my sister & had her come stay with us a few times for a long weekend, but the times we were together were always akward and strained. The one good time I remember was when she had just gotten her learners-permit and I let her drive me around… that was a good day.
I kind of coined a new phrase =) She is a permanent member of our family and quite a lovely soul she is. The boys have been good friends since the youngest was born. I am 14 years older than my younger sister, and even though I love her to death, she is more like my niece than a sister. I moved to the other side of the country when she was little.
