My dad's half brother was the middle child in his family of 12 sibs--my grandmother (who was NOT Howard's mother) raised him with the rest of her children.
Not sure how well it went over at the time because the family never talked about it.
msbelle, I totally understand how upsetting this must be for Mac (and you). I hope he can get through the project without any major emotional trauma.
Of course this reminds me that the first week of November, Owen's class is doing a family project and needs to take in a family picture for his class. Not even sure if I can find one of the four of us! I'm always the one taking the pictures and we've lost two laptop hard drives in the last six months with most of our family pictures stored on them. I have CD back ups but they're still well-hidden in an unpacked box in the office.
We only had 7 kids in my family, but baby pictures of the last 2 are scarce.
Meerkat!Matilda is to die for! So cuddly and adorable.
Oh, my. They're re-releasing a CD with Butterfly Kisses on it. Why would you want to do that.
I... I...
Got nuthin'. That's just wrong on a level of wrongness that can't even be defined.
However, Baby Meerkat Matilda shall slay the wrongness.
Matildkat is awesome! (Loki does the meerkat post. I love it.)
I also love my mom, whose birthday it is. I just talked to her for three fun hours. I love that we can do that and not get bored.
The Halloween pictures are finally going to slay me with cuteness.
I went to Target. There were dog Halloween costumes. The dog doesn't know how close he came to being dressed as a lobster. I came to my senses after a few minutes of pondering doggy dignity.
I like your mom too, sara. Not that we've met, or anything.
You people who dress animals in costumes are WEE-YURD. IJS.
Matilda, on the other handle, is a bundle of cuteness. I can't wait to see more pictures of Buffistakinder dressed for Halloween.
Hey, anyone know about the quality of Rosetta Stone language modules?
Meertilda is so damned adorable. As is her big brother.
I don't think I'd ever actually dress an animal beyond something like a hat for a picture. The lobster costume momentarily made me insane. It may just have been the cumulative effect of Target.
Someday, you need to meet my mom, ita. Hell, everyone should!
Only way I'd dress my animals is for laughs. And I'd pay in blood.
