Knock, knock. Come on in computer dorks!

So I'm obsessed with Friday Night Lights. It's the greatest show ever. We didn't get to watch it in the regular season since we don't have cable, but they're replaying during the summer, thank the good lord above. I swear I could watch each episode 30 times in a row. Which brings me to my computer dork question. Is there any easy way to hide your ip address? If I go to the series website it knows my location and won't let me watch. Is there an easy (key word here is easy) way to trick them? Help, help, help!

On the water at last

What a day, Father's Day and Olan's 8 month anniversary. The weather finall cooperated after the fog burned off. Adam played a crappy round of golf but had a good time nonetheless. After he got back we headed to Paddlefest to test drive some kayaks and canoes. Mom tried this cool hobie cat kayak that has peddles and a sail and just flies along. Olan begged us to let him take a kayak out but unfortunately they didn't have any lifejackets small enough. We finished off with some towering chocolate ice creams and drove around to look at possible house locations for us... on the dark side.

Then we had the most glorious meal EVER. How can my mom keep one upping herself like this? We've decided that after Adam's birthday we'll need to live on porridge and stale bread to let our taste buds settle again. This time of year always kills us.

We had a buttery soft prime rib, yorkshire pudding, local asparagus with goat cheese, butternut squash and a delicious "Pete's like" salad- for all of those in the know. Good times indeed!

Olan stayed up just late enough to help his dad and grandfather open their gifts, but frankly he mostly just wanted to suck on the envelopes.

Here's a few pics
I wanna go!

A great cause for celebration!

Father's Day is a day to pull out the stops and celebrate in this house. Both Adam and myself have been very blessed in the father department. We have incredible grandfather, father and godfathers (whether adopted or not) in our lives. While all of us in this life have a father, not everyone can truly celebrate this day the way we can, and for that we are so lucky!

Now Adam has joined the ranks of a father in this family and he's doing a damn fine job of keeping up the tradition. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of seeing Olan's face when Adam walks into the room, it's a killer. Nothing brings that boy so much joy, nothing. He loves his dad deeply, completely and contentedly. I always bring Olan into bed with us once he wakes up and then we all roll around and come to the surface slowly and gently. Olan always flip from one side to the other watching both of our faces. When he sees Adam's eyes first start to crack open, his little legs start pumping and his arms start waving... he knows that he's about to be showered in kisses and hugs, the anticipation drives him wild.

So today we celebrate. Adam has scurried off to the course early this morning, his one father's day wish. We'll meet up with him later. I'm about to call my most wonderfulest dad to see what he would like to do today. Then tonight we'll have a fantabulous big meal and raise a glass to all the greatest greats, past and present and future.
