Had a pretty nice Christmas with the family. Baby's first, and all, so there were about a million lenses trained on that kid at all times. Sad thing is - she's not even a month old, yet, so it's all going to be pictures of her sleeping. I'll admit, she's a pretty damned cute sleeper, though. Reminds me a lot of Briahna last year, but this time the gleam in the eyes belonged to my parents instead of Joey's. Stacy's a really terrific mom, too. Mom fussed all over her and the baby. It was kind of fun to watch.
Mom tried fussing over me, too, but I wouldn't really let her. She was really disappointed that JC wasn't here with us, and she let me know it all these little not-so-subtle ways, like setting two extra places at the dinner table (we always set one extra anyway), and having wrapped packages under the tree for him, and a stocking on the mantle. Lots of "Oh, this package is for Josh. Well, Lance, you'll just have to take it HOME to him in Orlando, if he doesn't make it here this week."
Yes, mom. Thank you. I got the point.
I actually half-expected him to show up. But, well. After Thanksgiving, I kind of knew it wouldn't happen. Took about every ounce of willpower I had to not go see him, but I also didn't want to miss our first christmas with Leighton, either.
Heading back to Orlando tomorrow morning. Joe's throwing a bash on Saturday, and that promises to either be a lot of fun, or a big ball of awkward. Need to call JC and tell him I'll be back in town tomorrow. I wonder if he's back there yet.
God I miss him. Wonder how the counseling is going.
So. Orlando tomorrow. And JC.
