However, in a brief moment of peace, the oldest asked to run the "outside trains" (since they're in my workshop, he considers them "outside"). So out we went, and for about an hour we played trains. I'm glad to see that he continues to want to play with them. Wife came out with the youngest, and immediately started asking about things on the table ... but since I haven't even been home (pretty sure the two weeks I spent in Asia prohibited me from working on the train table located in North America), I'm not sure how I could have managed such a feat *sigh*.
However, the youngest is finally able to see over the table (when standing on a stool) and actually liked loading up one of the gondolas. So looks like there may be more time spent at the train table with both of them in the future.
Thanks, Deuce, for the little window into your family life. No successful man ever said, "My only regret is that I spent too much time with my family." These moments are more precious than gold, and the children are small for such a short time. May the Good Lord give you and yours many joyous train hours together.
Deuce, Pete is so right!!! I am sorry your work takes you so far away at times. When you are back home, then there are a thousand things! I'm sure your wife is overwhelmed when you are gone! May God bless you and your family!!
