The Winters Family: Getting His Game On

Getting His Game On

Owen likes video games. He definitely takes after a certain someone! You know who you are!

For Christmas, Owen got Super Mario Bros. and he's tried to play it and it's proven a challenge to him. A frustrating challenge. The game is too mature for him as he doesn't quite have the motor skills to do what he knows he has to do. To compensate for that, he has either me or Daddy play the game while he watches. I am so incompetent at this game and Owen knows it. He gets frustrated with me! And he tells me I need to watch Daddy play so I can learn how to get better! Smartmouth.

And that's not it. To take his enthusiasm (or shall I say, obsession?) further, last night he requested that the regular bedtime story be replaced with a reading of the Super Mario Bros. instruction booklet.

*sigh*

Hello!

Welcome to our blog. This was started as a means to keep our friends and family in touch and up to date with our lives while we lived in lovely Vancouver, BC from 2006 - 2011, and in Boston, MA from 2011 - 2013. I took a break from blogging for a long while but since Boston, we did a 6 month stint in beautiful Denver, CO and then ultimately ended up in San Francisco, CA in Feburary of 2014 where we currently reside. Chris' job has taken us across the continent 3 times, sometimes far, sometimes near but mostly far.

We would much rather be up close and personal in person but since distance is between us and those we hold close and love, this is a pretty good way of closing that gap a bit. Not only that, but this has turned into a diary of some sorts featuring my son, Owen and daughter, Ana. It is a way of preserving those moments that have made us laugh, cry and grow, something I hope to present to them when they're older and curious about how they were as children.

With the kids older and Chris and I feeling nostalgic, Chris not-so-subtly hinted that he missed the posts that I used to put on here. So did I. I wasn't sure I could remember my log-in password in order to resume where I last left off but hey... Something must've worked because here I am! Again. Hi. How have you been? It's been way too long, right? Yea... I know but that's life. It passes you by fast and the jump from my last post from August 2012 to 2016 is evidence of that.

Love,
Marisa
