So I was able to sleep until 7 AM this morning which felt like a ridiculous luxury. Mo, as usual, was up at 5 but Beth took her downstairs so I could snooze a bit more. We had a nice walk downtown and a terrific buffet lunch before I headed out to a bookstore with the Gram and Mo.
For our Friday night pizza movie night this week our tour through Hogwarts was derailed by a mail delay, so Gram selected Fantastic Mr. Fox from our on demand service. What an incredible film! Gram was completely bowled over (as were Beth and I) so when we went to the store for me to trade in a gift of a book I already have (the amazing Godel, Escher, and Bach bu Douglas Hofstadter) I got this film as a trade in. I'm ordering a book to replace it with the generous gift card I got from my department as a going away gift. Anyway, I am happy for this to be the start of our Wes Anderson collection at home. There are so many terrific little details in the film, I know we'll see it over and over with Gram in the house and I hope Mo inherits some of the same sense of humor to appreciate it.
Tomorrow we head back to the valley for Beth to re-interview with the school. I think we'll be a full-on campus family in the fall.
