Look–I found a blog more boring than mine. It’s The dullest blog in the world. Yet, it gets way more hits than I do. Maybe there’s something to be said for being the best at something. Even if that something is dullness.

Here is a picture of Jake in his tux. I think we’re going to have our hands full in about 10 years…
the tuxeudo disaster that wasn’t
Suffice it to say, you don’t want to hear the boring tuxeudo story. Though, this weekend has caused me to rename my medication to “Lawbrax” (“Law” being the generic term for any of Brian’s relatives). We’ll just chalk that experience up to the fact that weddings make everyone crazy and leave it at that.
That said, Jacob was in Brian’s cousin’s wedding yesterday. He did a great job, thankfully. He was the ring bearer. The wedding was nice and so was the reception. It was held at a place called the Willow Room in Belle Vernon. The food was really good and the wine was excellent. I like it when you go to a wedding and they actually have something good to drink. That happens surprisingly infrequently.
Unfortunately, I was the designated driver, so I only had one glass of wine. But, after not eating for eight hours, it did the trick. And, we were there late enough that the effects wore off before I had to drive us home (of course). I have become the official wedding designated driver because normally there’s nothing worth drinking at these affairs. Yesterday was a definite exception.
Brian and his mother took a bunch of photos of Jake, so I’ll be posting at least one of them once they are made available to me. Keep watching…
first day of school
Ever.
Jake’s first day of kindergarten was today. Brian managed to work at home so he could see him off. I was already working at home. Pappy Law also stopped by. The bus was 15 minutes late, though I was warned that the buses tend to run late the first two weeks. Neither Brian nor I were sad to see him go to school. Maybe it’s because he’s been in daycare for the past few years. I’m not sure. I do know that now we’ll be able to take all of that money we’re saving on daycare costs and buy gasoline with it. Good timing.
Here is a picture of the happy kid waiting for the bus. He wasn’t so happy this evening. Brian asked him if he had an assigned seat to sit in at school. Jacob didn’t understand the question. Brian rephrased it and asked if he had to sit in the same seat when he goes to school tomorrow. Jake was like, “But, Grammy is watching me tomorrow.” Brian told him yes, but that he still had to go to school in the afternoon. After a few rounds of this, Jacob’s response was, “Oh.”
