During the summer, Gavin came over every night and I let Callum stay up super late and we marathoned The Untamed. The last episode was the last Friday before school started and Callum was so upset that he cried: so many reasons, summer being over, our fun Chinese Drama nights being over, sad that he wouldn't see Gavin as much etc. So we said, why don't we continue our Chinese Drama Nights once a week? And now Gavin comes over every Friday and we watch Douluo Continent and Mo Dao Zu Shi, Callum stays up late, we all have an ice cream cone, and then we sit around chatting (Callum goes to bed after the shows are over because he still gets tired around 10 PM,) and we just laugh the night away.

It's wild because to me it feels like we were just picking gavin up at the airport when he was 10 months old. Like... this was YESTERDAY to me and now he's a few weeks shy of 16 and I'm not sure how this happened.

And Callum is right behind him and I just can't cope with that sometimes.

My two boys.

Gavin comes everywhere with us in the summer. I wanted to take him with us to Chinatown for the Lunar New Year next week, but his Mom was too nervous about him going into the city and that's valid. I'm nervous about it myself tbh. I haven't been to the city since the year before Callum was born.

Bazzy and Mason were supposed to come over to play with Callum on saturday, and Bazzy was supposed to sleep over, but Mason is sick now (negative thankfully) and Bazzy still has a cough from being sick last week, so we'll see.

OMG and Miranda turned 17 a few days ago.Zach will be 19 in May. Haven't heard from Zach since before Christmas. :(

Zach, Miranda, and Bazzy are my cousin Celia's kids btw. Gavin and Mason's parents--my cousin Chrissie and her husband Tim--have custody of them. That's a long, unhappy story for another time.

I had a whole other section of this that I was gonna write about, but now I'm second-guessing myself so I deleted it!
