It's hard to admit but...I have gotten spoiled by California.

It's just so sunny! And (sort of) warm! We are staying in a place not too far from the beach, which means I can go shove my feet in the sand pretty much anytime I want. And that's pretty damn awesome. It's been nice to be out here, even though it's been more of a working vacation sort of thing for Kyle. But we've managed to get out and see some things when time permits.

And as much as I like it here and would like to go live on the beach and be a bum, I can admit to missing home. I think I just miss the familiarity of home and I now realise how nice it is to have two sets of parents willing to take the munchkin for a couple of hours. But it's just about time to go home. And going home means Kyle will be off doing promo/tour for the new When We Dead Awaken album! I'm super excited about it because it's a really good record from what all I've heard.

So I probably haven't mentioned it in the past three seconds or anything but a certain little dude will be a year old in three weeks. I find this crazy. Crazier than THIS:



why yes, that was what I looked like on May 11th of last year (HA! I had to go look at the date. I knew I was close!). I waddled and couldn't see my feet all that well. I don't miss that phase at all.

(so yes what does one *do* for one year old birthdays? it's not like he'll remember it? I feel like I should buy beer to celebrate me not having feet shoved up in my ribs anymore :-D y/y?)
