Technically I’m working this week but it’s super quiet because everyone else in the office is out. Just catching up on some stuff from my backlog and training courses.

We got a bike seat so toddler Hooch can sit behind me while I ride my bike, we’ve been having a lot of fun exploring the neighborhood with it!

Gotta finish some Christmas shopping today and drop off some presents with a friend, otherwise have taken care of all the shopping/gift stuff!

Did he explode with joy to see you come home after your trip this weekend?

He was so happy, and I was so happy to see him! He wanted my wife to call me on FaceTime every day while I was in Vegas. I had a fun trip but I’m so glad to be back home with them!

That's so adorable my heart just grew three sizes.

That must be so incredibly cool to go riding around w/your kid. I still remember riding on the back of my dad's bike when I was a kid.

For a minute I forgot where you lived and envisioned your child frozen over on that bike seat. But it's probably still really warm and nice where you are! Is everyone recovered from their various illnesses?

I pictured a very bundled little child being raised like he was in Finland. Then I, too, remembered where Hooch lives.

Yup, it was a balmy 70 degrees yesterday afternoon so still bike riding weather!

Everyone is healthy for the holidays - thankfully!

Yay for good health and that sounds like amazing biking weather -- jealous! Hope little Hooch enjoys the bike!
