CoTT 2 House of Cards

[Page Scrawler]

I've had to reduce my hours at work, so I can get home earlier. It's not for anything negative, though it is serious. Before the pandemic broke out, Morgan and I talked about making a change in our lives. Because of the complexities of this change, and because of the restrictions put in place to protect minors, I couldn't say anything before now. Then COVID struck, and proceedings dragged on longer than it would have under normal circumstances. It wasn't easy, but then again, tasks worth the reward rarely are. As of yesterday, the adoption was finalized. Morgan and I are now the parents of a 9-year-old fellow named Max.

We really need a "Happy Cry" emoji, btw.

Gratz Page

Thanks, Gary, Bertie.  He's a cheerful, energetic kid, and he's very active, physically. He loves to kick a soccer ball around, and he doesn't mind raking the leaves in the yard. Well, with some help; it's a good-sized yard for a city lot. He also enjoys helping in the kitchen, and likes to cuddle on the sofa during Movie Night.

Thank you, Cassie. 

Right now, his favorite food is apples. Raw, baked, roasted; sweet, tart, savory....he loves 'em any way he can get them. He especially loves the Octoberfest pizza that I sometimes bring home from work.

Thanks. Thistle slept pretty well though he got restless about 3am, well before I was ready to wake. Currently he's curled up dozing in my lap. We're going to try our usual morning walk but will need to bundle up. It's a cold 35/2° with a light breeze.
