Snort

[vaneramos]

Marian and Brenna got along fine with Danny, not that I expected otherwise. After leaving the fair, we picked him up and drove downtown Toronto for a look around Allan Gardens, then dinner at the Village Rainbow. Joe the waiter brought Brenna a piece of cake with a birthday candle.

Then, giddy with chocolate, my daughters discovered Danny's weakness. We were all joking and laughing when Brenna snorted, and anyone who knows Danny well will easily guess what that led to. Of all teases I know, my 10-year-old daughter is the most relentless (Can't you see it in her eyes?). Danny's fate was sealed.

The hard part for me was showing discretion, at least until the girls get to know him. I don't have qualms about showing appropriate affection in front of them, in the appropriate time. For tonight, it was hard restraining myself from reaching out and rubbing his belly. Fortunately I only have to wait until tomorrow night to see him alone again.

It was great fun meeting your daughters Van. They are great kids.

And ya, my fate will be sealed. I'll have to make them promise to only use their power over me for good purposes!

Hugs and have fun at the parade tomorrow. Hugs to Brenna and Marian as well.

Time to get some sleep. 8 dozen peanut butter cookies. OY! What was I thinking!

Danny (aka Snortboy!)

Brenna will never forget that little trick, I'm afraid. Don't worry, though; there are ways of distracting her!

I look forward to eating your cookies tonight. :-)

Do you mean the userpic? It's from a series of photos I shot on our long weekend in May.

Somehow I missed using that particular image in the original post, but the others are just as exuberant.

What happens when Danny snorts? Inquiring minds want to know!

It's SO good he and the girls got on well. YAY!!!!!!

If you can get Danny laughing, then somebody snorts, it makes him snort, then he gets embarrassed, laughs harder and snorts even more.

Here's a picture of Danny laughing, courtesy of beardoc.

Very cute. And as if I didn't already think Bill was gorgeous, that picture of him, earlier in the series, with his hand on Daniel while sitting next to Danny is priceless. They're ALL sweethearts. No picture of you, did you miss Seumas's visit? Alas, he didn't make it to Boston this time, either. We met briefly when he stayed with Ron a couple of years ago. That was the second time Chris and I crossed paths, too.

I don't know Seumas. Chris visited Guelph that weekend, so I didn't go to Toronto.

Seumas seems nice. Chris is *definitely* wonderful, and (I think) cuter too.
