it was back-to-work and back-to-school day around here. kevin left very early this morning for a 10-day business trip to asia. i know kevin's always ready to go back to work at the beginning of the new year, but 10 days in asia will be a shock to all of our systems after having him with us every day for the last 2 weeks. the kids did a great job jumping right back into the school routine. after school we played board games and did puzzles. i thought brooke was never going to be interested in puzzles, but that's finally starting to change. brooke is getting a lot better at putting puzzles together all by herself, and gavin does a pretty good job, too (when it holds his interest). today we played "share a berry" for the first time, and it was a huge hit! although, gavin did not like it one little bit that i won the first time we played (it's not the kind of game that you can intentionally lose :). he cried and begged to play again. all the way through the second round of the game, gavin was saying, "i'm gonna win. you're gonna lost." so funny! i tried teaching him the merits of sportsmanship, but i think it's going to take a little reinforcing :) we topped off the day with special time with gram vicki, popcorn and the michigan bowl game. i'm going to try and fit as much fun as possible into the next 10 days so we don't have too much time to think about how much we miss kevin!
