Go ahead, make my day

As I pulled up to the house today after work, Casey ran to the window overlooking the garage and greeted me. Then, as I pulled into the garage, Casey ran down to the garage to greet me. This alone made my day. He actually missed me enough to run all the way downstairs, into the garage to greet me. I saw him and said, 'Hi bud, whatcha doing?'... He said, 'Trying to fart.' Now, this REALLY made my day!

Volleyball

Sometimes, in between Sesame Street and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes, Casey will let Daddy watch something on TV. About any time I get the chance, I'll try to watch some sports. Basketball, football, volleyball, just something 'adult'. Casey will often watch with me. He has learned to recognize the sports, and he will invariably run to get the appropriate ball to 'play' the specific sport being shown on TV. Once, we were watching volleyball, and Casey got his 'Portugal' volleyball and asked me to play with him. He says "Daddy's arms".. and I attempt a forearm volleyball pass. Then I say, "Casey's arms", and he give me a passing platform... Enjoy the video. Turn up the sound...

Trip Pix

We recently took a trip down south to SD. Went to the 'Big Zoo', played at the playground and hung out at Nai Nai and Ye Ye's house.

Handsome Prince

Yesterday evening Phil, his mom, and I were going to attend cousin Jack and Lan's (Kathy) wedding reception. After getting ready (hair, makeup, clothes etc.) upstairs I came downstairs.  The boys were playing in the living room.  When I arrived and Casey saw me he asked, without skipping a beat, "You a Princess?" I immediately smiled really big and my heart filled with so much love for my handsome little guy. I actually had to look over at Nai Nai to make sure I heard Casey correctly.  I looked at Casey and told him he had just made my day. More than that he made my job as a mom worth every moment!  I gave my big boy a big hug and told him he was my Handsome Prince.

I love you Casey!!!!  My Handsome Prince!!!
