Max and his daddy have been spending sunday afternoons putting together models for the electric train set. I love watching as Max carefully glues the pieces that David is patiently holding together. It is a time when Max can just breathe and relax and enjoy time with his family. (School is stressful for him, but that is another post).
Last week in the middle of their project Max exclaimed, "I love you 34 boy!", threw his arms around Dave's neck and wore that grin that only belongs to Max. (see above). This made me nearly double over in laughter. 34 boy? Dave is 34, but where does our kindergartener come up with this stuff? I do believe we have a new nickname.
34 boy has been in Singapore and Hong Kong this week. He sent us these pictures this morning. He and I wished through a few texts that we were exploring Hong Kong together. Instead of taking a tram up a foggy asian hillside, I was here making thick german pancakes listening to a grumpy arms-crossed-over-chest Oliver who was so upset because "I AM NOT IN THOSE PICTURES!!!!" (the hong kong pictures from david) Whatever Oliver. That kid gets worked up over the weirdest things.
Dave gets home this weekend and we are all looking forward to that reunion. It's no fun around here without our daddy. It's interesting to watch the boys when he's gone -- they aren't too verbal about it, but there is just a little less spring in their step and a little more emotion and frustration. Max especially. He misses his 34 boy.
Speaking of Max, get ready for Max to the Max week next week. Love that kiddo.

Haha, this made me laugh. Oh its cute. I love picturing them do trains together. Max is stressed at school? I'd like to know about that.
And I LOVED the little anecdote about oliver. So funny for some reason!!! Well Dave gets home soon..."Courage" as the french would say (just say it with a french accent...you guys are good at that). I know its not easy.
