As I sit in my in-laws' living room at nearly midnight on December 26th, the thought occurred to me that I haven't had much to say on this blog since our anniversary. For the few who happen upon this little collection of thoughts, I thought an update on the happenings of the Boykin household would be in order...
The days have been spent between the Louisiana Boykin and Lovelace households. We've had three gift exchanges, two Christmas dinners, and a million laughs and fun times in between. My parents have managed to get all three of their children under one roof for the first time in months. My father-in-law got to spend the day with his son and new grandson, and in the fun I was called "Uncle Branson," which was kind of a neat experience.
This week I've been writing again, given a sketch pad and pencil set for Christmas which re-inspired my interest in drawing, and watched football history made as Drew Brees broke Dan Marino's record. I've got the two superhero movies that I had not yet collected, and I've spent many a morning relishing the childhood memories of Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future.
This week I've learned that having a child changes your perspective on things, even things that you didn't know needed changing. I've learned that there is no length too great to go to make sure my son is safe and protected. And I've learned that in some cases, when the hammer falls, I will act...
All in all, its been a great week. Not really looking forward to going back to work, but you can't have a vacation if there's not a job to take a vacation from.
Keep Soaring,
B
