Sometimes I need a change of scenery when I’m working remote. Today I’m working upstairs, using the old desk I got from my Grandparents. As a kid, it was filled with old photo albums and old office supplies. Today it opens up to fit my laptop perfectly.

53 degrees out this evening, so we went outside to walk to the store for a snack. Before winter, Levi had to go in the stroller. Now he walks/runs the entire way.

Owen was telling me at bedtime what he would do if an intruder came to our house - let’s just say if you don’t want to be attacked by legos, a stuffy cannon, and a painting from his wall - stay clear.

My wife and I have been on a mafia kick lately after putting the kids down for the night. We started off with Get Gotti & now we’re on Fear City: New York vs The Mafia. This is a change from our Gilmore Girls binge.

Levi loves going on walks, but hates walking back home (I can relate).

Every couple of months Owen and I go to get pancakes before school starts. Every time, I miscalculate how long it takes and we end up at the school drop off about 35 minutes early 🤷‍♂️. The plus is more one on one time and a car movie.
