Just a few fun things from the adventures of Chris and Heather:
Yesterday we had dinner at my parents' house. Shortly after dinner, my mystery illness struck again and I started feeling very ill. Obviously such a time is the perfect time to start a game of hide and go seek. There Chris was, holding my hand and looking at me with concerned eyes (actually, I'm not sure about that part, cause my eyes were closed), and Jake (my 5 year old nephew) says "Chris!!! Come PLAY with us!"
Chris: But your Aunt Heather is sick, let's wait till she gets better.
Jake: But that could take FOREVER!
With an approval from me, Chris counted to 10 and the kids hid. We reminded him to not find them too fast. He was so great with them. It made me smile just to watch. Given that he has little to no experience with young children, I think he did a great job. They sure loved him!
A few more funny things from the kids--
Before the second round of hide and seek, Chris told Jake he'd count to 15 this time. Jake was like, "I think you should count to 5!" ...because Jake is 5. I don't think they quite get the idea that if he counted to a higher number, they could have a longer time to find a hiding place. Also, I don't think Elly got it very well at all (she's barely 3). Once she'd hid, she yelled "I'M HIDING!!!" ... because obviously, then, you can't find her :) She also insisted that Chris had to "find" Jonah, her baby brother, who was just crawling around on the living room floor. Funny kids.
Find Jonah!
Tonight, Chris and I got to use our "pass of all passes" for the first time. Actually, Chris seems to have misplaced his. Luckily, the lady at the mini golf entrance thing just let him play anyway and told him what to do if he can't find it at home. I don't know if I've ever seem a sillier mini-golfer. I am a little unsure as to whether Chris has EVER played mini golf before, because he kept practicing his "swing" at every hole. For like 20 seconds. He must have done something right, though, because he beat me by 3 strokes...or something. We kind of fudged the scores sometimes, like when we were hitting up a ramp and it came right back down at us. He really liked it though, and after realizing how close it is to his place, I think we'll go back a lot! (Plus, you know, with our passes we can go unlimited times for free.) Afterwards I treated him to Dippin Dots, which apparently he'd never had! I think he liked it. We thought about how it might be made, and I think we agreed upon that there are a lot of fairies in a factory somewhere whose job it is to roll snowballs from ice cream.

Where did you get this "pass of all passes"? Also, you are adorable. As are your nephews and niece. As is your fiance. Good work, all around.
I got the pass of all passes online :) Not that it would do you any good anyway, you Arizonian. P.S. you should make lots of money so you can come for my bridal shower AND wedding.
