Day One

And so, Daddy is gone. We are so sad. It was hectic and stressful and overwhelming, but we all muddled through with tears and laughter, as usual.

Finny and I had a lovely day after we dropped Jack off. We went to Taco Deli and had our favorite breakfast followed by an awesome hike on Barton Creek Greenbelt. We went on the Spyglass trail in a direction we'd never been before. We played "Uncle Roo" and "lost boy" for a long time. Tis involves me being Uncle Roo and Finn being a child lost on the trail. Uncle Roo finds him and is his Daddy until Finn's real Daddy comes home. So bittersweet for me. We played Inigo Montoya and Fezzick forEVER. We watched some guys rock climbing. It was a lovely Texas winter day.

We also ICE SKATED today! Woo Hoo! Whole Foods puts up an outdoor ice skating rink each holiday season and Finny really wanted to go look at it. We had a delicious lunch out by the the stream and then headed up to the rink. We watched for a bit and then Finn declared that we should just try it and that "it won't be hopeless!" LOL. Where on earth did he get that from? So, we tried and we did it! It was wonderful fun and we felt brave and daring.

We've ended our night with calls to Daddy and watching a few Blue Planet documentaries. We're both tired from a healthy day of fun and adventure.

Good night, Daddy. We'll talk to you tomorrow.

And to you, too.

Love,

Michele and Finnigan the Curious
