Congrats Plei! Also, let me add to the Lily cuteness accolades.

Nice, Gud. Here's to a good year for you and your family!

Thanks. I do suspect that my wife has developed secret love for some guy named Greg House. I think the condition is known as Cameron syndrome which is difficult to diagnose expect by nearly killing the patient with incorrect treatments. Apparently the correct treatment is motoring through TV episodes acquired by certain Internet means.

Yay, Gud!!! I'm so glad to hear that.

Gud, that's great! Glad things are better in Gud-land. I've been thinking about y'all.

secret love for some guy named Greg House

Boy that guy gets around.

That is really good to read, Gud. I know it has been a lot of work. All the best wishes for your family.

Very glad to hear your good news, Gud!

1. Lily is the cutest thing in all of cute-onia

2. Plei pictures would be a good thing

3. Aimee's dress is gaw-juss

Conclusion: pictures are good.

Oh, good, Gud! I'm glad you thought to tell us that. I'm so often eager to share the bad stuff, asking for advice, and I forget to share the good, so I'm glad you took the time. And yay, you guys for sorting things out.

vw, please not to practice mayhem on the parentals. Well, okay, just a little. But be gentle.

Raq, I'm very glad there was no being sick on the plane nor in foreign parts, but I'm sorry you guys missed your trip.

I'm thinking about the babies I'm familiar with through their photos (if not from meeting them), and I think Owen and Lily have the most devastating eyes. Mal and Aidan have grins that just win hearts, and Em and Ellie have this deceptive elfin delicacy that belies the iron wills beneath, and Liv has a watchful, assessing demeanor that seems to measure ordinary mortals and find them wanting. Kara's beautiful cherubic face conceals a heart that's cheerfully black, but strewn with sparkly designs and ideas. Dillo and Matilda are adorable squishy proto-humans whose potential is devastating, although yet to be plumbed. Casper is wry and beautiful and clever. I've missed tales of Franny and Isaac, so they are unknown to me.

I'm sure I've missed someone, through my bad memory rather than deliberately. I love the Buffista babies. Finest kind.

We are off to take StY to birthday lunch--only five weeks late. And maybe a movie after.

Ack. Double post.

Clever Aimee, that's a gorgeous dress--yes, pictures of you wearing it, please! And Plei pictures, too, please.

Loads of jobma for Vortex!

Am now gone. (Poof!)

Aw. Buffista baby round-up. Nice job, Bev.

Gud, that's great news.
