  1. Thanks, Comsie, this is one of my favorites!
  2. On another note, does anyone know any books/movies about dancing? Preferably male dancers. Fiction would be good, but real stories or documentaries would be better. I'm hopeful that showing Max some role models will help boost his confidence.
  3. Statistics say yes, but we've been able to make the occasional quickie in our en suite bathroom.
  4. Oh, he's handsome. Hmmm...I think Morgan has some plaid shirts...not that he'd be wearing it for long.
  5. Hey, Gary. How's Cookie?
  6. Max has been wonderful so far, but parenting a biracial kid definitely presents some unique challenges. I thought I might use the leftover ham to make Eggs Benedict casserole, but ham salad is a great idea! https://www.cookingclassy.com/overnight-eggs-benedict-casserole/
  7. My husband and I added a third wheel of our own to the household. His name is Max, nine years old. The only reason I can say anything now is because the adoption was finalized a few weeks ago. Max is allergic to turkey, so we'll be having a spiral-cut ham for dinner this year. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is actually what comes after: using up the leftovers to make other meals. Of course, I'm also looking forward to gathering with my in-laws again. We haven't seen them since April.
  8. Looks a bit like a game of Hangman.
  9. Yeah, seems like something we'd do.
  10. Morgan, Max and I had Brunch at Brasserie Amie. Max had a blueberry-cheese blintz with toast, jam, and a hot chocolate. I ordered Croque Monsieur with a Créme Brulatte. Morgan had the Norwegian Benedict and a Cappuccino. https://brasserieamie.com/
  11. Morgan and I watched Billy Elliot last night. Without Max, sadly. I'm sure he'd love the dancing, but the language is far too salty for a kid his age. Maybe when he's a little older.
  12. @Comicality Also, if you haven't seen "Heartstone", I can't recommend it enough. The boys, the music, the scenery....everything is so beautiful!
  13. @Comicality This little "Behind the scenes" bit is also cute! https://www.instagram.com/p/CV4E0kgAMPC/
  14. I especially like the older boy at the start of the video. He's so pretty!
  15. @Comicality WHOA! Benicio's voice is so beautiful! https://www.instagram.com/p/CWYrWvcAkP1/
  16. Ugh. No, definitely not!
  17. Meanwhile, us 'Muricans can't get a refund or an exchange on Justin Beiber.
  18. Doing well, thanks.
  19. Thanks, Dugh. How's Mum?
  20. Max is very bright and curious, and he loves his classes at school. He gets good grades, and he likes soccer "just for fun", but his real interest is dancing. There are a few older lads in the dance class he attends, and I think they'll be a good influence on him. They usually help Max with stretching/warm-up and give him some pointers on his form. Other than that, Max helps with yard work and cleans his room without being asked. I think that's enough chores for now, but we might add more as he grows older.
  21. Hey, Bertie!
  22. Currently, there's a movie on Hallmark Channel called "Christmas Sail". A woman teams up with her childhood friend to restore her father's yacht and enter it in the floating Christmas parade. Around here, the boats have all been stowed away on dry land. Can't imagine why anyone would go out sailing at this time of year...unless they were insane.
  23. Hey, Gary. How's Falkor?
  24. A little update for Nolen: Currently, he's working on the Netflix adaptation of Broadway's 13: The Musical, starring as "Malcolm". https://www.instagram.com/p/CSUtcaAJRE9/
