Oh yes!

I remembered one more thing from today. Sometime after I left for college/mission etc, dad and my little brother cooked up a bizarre game they called Spider. To some wackjob from CPS it probably would have been abuse, but they both enjoyed it. Dad would hang out on the sofa and David would be over near the stairs. Dad would have some kind of ball and the object of the game was to hit David with it. David would run between the stairs and the entryway attempting to avoid getting drilled. Abbey the dumb fat dog seemed to get into this game as well at times.

I bring this up because this is now one of Cole's favorite games. He especially enjoys that I can throw the ball at him in the loft from over near his room (over the downstairs living room).

As Maryanne pointed out tonight, I could now complete the parallel by painting "Cole" on the wall while repainting and still have it visible ten years later despite several attempts to cover it up. For those who haven't seen it, the letters were about 4" wide and 2' tall. It was not small. But it is still funny. - Dad, is it still visible? Maybe you can take a picture and I can post it on here.


And Mom gets here on Tuesday. I'm excited for her to visit!
