We drove by to see Kim and Ryan! It was our last planned stop to see family for the break.
Kim and Ryan outdid themselves again with getting Shane Christmas presents. I never expect anything when we arrive and the next thing I know Shane is two Lego sets richer (plus a coding set, a Lego Technic set...).
Gifts and wrapping seem to be a talent on Carrie's side of the tree. They got themselves some presents, as well. I haven't seen Deadpool, but the marketing for the character is hilarious.
I was just trading Office Space quotes the other week!
I know what Ryan's going to be doing if he gets any more snow days. Kim? She'll be working (the joys and pains of working from home).
Kim would pop by and chat whenever she was waiting for something to compile or in between calls.
It's funny how kids develop certain routines and expectations for different homes/people. Shane insisted we play Here, Kitty, Kitty!. I brought Stuffed Fables and some other games of ours to show, but Shane wanted none of it. We went out with Ryan for lunch, walked around a few stores, and then Shane came back to hunt the cats.
There was a Lego break at some point which let the adults talk.
When Shane had too much energy, Ryan asked Shane to run back the recycling. The yard was soup from all the rain, but a few laps up and down the driveway seemed to help.
It was good catching up. We might have ended up living closer to them if we hadn't closed on land around here! Kim's a team lead programmer/consultant and looking at switching companies. Ryan will be going into his fifth year as a band director which should forgive some of his student loans. Overall, things seem to be going well for them (minus the leak in the ceiling they had to fix! Home ownership, right?).
Ryan had an evening doctor's appointment and Shane had wrestling, so we said our goodbyes around dinner.
