day 3470: saying goodbye to cousins and epic minecraft sessions.
vacation is over and so are the epic minecraft sessions 🙂
evelyn, on the right, and odin originally had the same due date. i still remember the day she was born ( scroll down ). odin was already 99 days old and had his first post nicu pediatric check-up on that day.
odin is doing the best purposeful “goofy smile” he can muster.
day 3467: max and mia moroz enjoy hot chocolate with odin and his already well-worn jersey.
odin doesn’t get to see max and mia very often because they live waaaaaaaaaay far away in the foreign land called Venice, California but when they do they always get along like they’re best buds.
odin is apparently never taking off his christmas red wings jersey.
day 3465: odin carves his initials in the table before eating one of america’s best burgers at stella’s lounge.
if you’re at stella’s lounge in grand rapids, michigan see if you can find odin’s initials on one of the tables. GQ magazine rated their fare as “Best Burger in America”.
i had the “mr fables” with green olives, blue cheese & swiss cheese, and while it was very, very, good ( and i recommend you go have one if you have the chance ) i have to admit the burger i had at the burger joint in new york city ( thanks to a hot tip from jason kottke ) might have been a better burger.
@snowdeal If you're looking for a lunch out, try Burger Joint, hidden behind a curtain at the Parker Meridian. http://t.co/YjXlYp3sxn

maybe i need to do arrange side-by-side comparison.
day 3464: odin’s michigan relatives are subtle in their attempts to sway his hockey fandom preferences.
living in driftless region with no wisconsin nhl team presents a few tough choices for our default favorite hockey team. it could theoretically be the minnesota wild but we’re in wisconsin the odin plays against a lot of minnesota teams to that’s not really going to happen.
we lived in chicago for a number of years and always enjoyed the blackhawks and they could reasonably be the default choice since they are the closest major market team. but i don’t think odin’s michigan relatives are ever going to let that happen 🙂
this year got more red wings gear to cement the deal.
day 3462: santa brought us fencing swords! it’s inconceivable!
mine is even a lefty! and yes, going up and down the stairs while dueling princess bride style is exactly as awesome as you might imagine.
day 3460: a glimpse of media destroying family time at dinner.
/me shakes fist at gutenberg.
just kidding. we don’t normally allow reading at dinner but what are you going to do when it’s a book about great hockey players?
