A Day With Marvin

Brian works with high school special education students. Marvin, a former student, has developed a special bond with Brian. So special in fact, that Marvin and his girlfriend, Shenice, have asked Brian and me to be their baby's (due in November) godparents. We haven't committed to this idea yet, but it hasn't been ruled out either.

Marvin got in touch with Brian one day last week and asked if he would like to hang out for the day. Brian agreed and the plans were made. Our whole family spent the afternoon with Marvin at our house playing basketball, Wii, and hanging out. Later that night, Brian and Ben picked up Kyle, a friend of Ben's, and Shenice and headed to the Twins game.

Shenice had never been to a Twins game before and she had a great time. Brian treated everyone to all of the Dome food and treats they could eat and enjoyed explaining the game of baseball to the whole crew.

Marvin and Shenice are great kids and we enjoyed spending time with them. I'm confident there will be more outings together in the future.
