Another Son


Last night -- no, wait, this morning at 2:00 -- Calvin & I picked up Brendan Greek at the airport. His plane was supposed to come in from Toronto at 11:00 last night, but was repeatedly delayed and finally touched down at 1:53 a.m. Calvin happily missed school so he could sleep in, then hang out with Brendan all day.

Brendan and his brother James are like other sons to us. Our families have been close friends since they were little boys, and they've spent countless hours with us. Both of them (Brendan a little more) have lived with us for short periods of time, especially during the summers a few years ago. Brendan is now 22 and just finished his third tour as a lighting tech with Seeds dinner theatre, travelling throughout the U.S. and Canada raising money for missions. He's home for the summer and still deciding what to do with his future (click on the "Brendan" link in my list of fellow bloggers). He's here with us for a couple of days, then we're all travelling to his parents home in Salmon Arm on Friday. We're coming back Monday, and we're trying to convince Brendan to come back with us and live here for a while!

As you can see in the photo above, the boys have been enjoying one of their favourite things to do together! Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, Calvin couldn't find the WD40 to make the fire really interesting!
