Katherine Coleman

I was really looking forward to showing Tesla to Kathy. I knew it would mean a lot to her (and me). Sure enough, she mentioned several times, as Dav was changing Tesla's diaper or playing with her, that she never imagined she would get to see Dav as a daddy. I only know Dav as a super sweet loving husband (and now daddy) so it doesn't strike me as odd, but I'm getting a sense of their childhood, and can see what she means. From what I hear, Dav was, well, let's say sorta wild, daring, and eh hem, a bit of a bully to his little sis.

They went to Napa, and I joined them in late afternoon (they left in the morning to go ballooning which doesn't allow babies). By the time I arrived, John was feeling like a tired parent having driven two playfully bickering children around, tempted to butt them out the car for misbehaving. I don't know what kind of wine they had, but it got them back to good 'ol sibling days :) It was pretty funny to watch. And I got a feeling of little Dav. But as Kathy got to see, Dav is a great dad!

On the last night, we played our favorite game Carcassonne. It's a great game since it's very social, and each time we play, it's different because of the group dynamic. In this game, John and I teamed up to build a massive city that would make any chance of the others to win nil. Dav tried to mess that up, but John picked the perfect card/tile to complete our plan. Kathy had ended up helping us too, despite Dav's protests that we should all be out to beat each other, not help. It became the theme where John, Kathy, and I were all fuzzy feeling helping each other out, while Dav tried in vain to point out that we weren't playing the game right. It was fun for us! John won, by the way. : )
