Willow ,'Storyteller'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!
Goodness, I didn't realize how long ago it was, until I saw Emmett's pictures, and realized he doesn't look much older than PiToddler in them, while in real life he's probably at least as old as, well, some of the younger Buffistas whose pictures are already in that gallery.
Yeah, he's about 6'1" now, Nilly, and a senior in HS looking at college.
I have a little box of prezzies ready, but I don’t want to mail it yet…too soon! So my giftee may or may not have gotten or be getting something little now, but the bigger gift will be closer to Christmas. Vague enough for you?
oh Santa, you are really keeping me in smiles. 3 more cards today, 1 is an EARLY Easter card, which…hilarious. Thank you to all who have joined in this, I assume and hope that one person was not buying all these cards. Great fun.
Are you sure it's not a LATE Easter card?
It says Happy Early Easter. So, I think I am safe. but with us b.orgers, you never know.
2 more cards. You people are crazy.
he's about 6'1" now, Nilly
So I won't have to bend my head to pet dogs in the street with him, like I did when I was lucky enough to visit y'all in SF, ha? He'll have to fold himself over in order to see that strange person speaking to his elbow.
a senior in HS looking at college.
Does he have any specific ideas regarding where he wants to go and what he wants to do there? Baseball-related or others?
(Sorry for the Natter. I'm just - he looks like such a young man in those pictures! I remember the pictures from when Matilda was born and her babyhood and infancy, and he looked like such a big boy in them, like the most wonderful older brother she could ever wish for. And it was a lot to process even then, because - like those pictures in the gallery - he suddenly jumped into adolescence in my mind. And now it's a completely whole another new phase - it's like the man is emerging from the boy, with such a self-assured good-humored expression in his face, so present - you can imagine not only the teenager that he is now, but also glimpses of the man he'll get a chance to grow into (it's not just the suit and the hair and the pose, I think, too. It's the expression on his face. It's such a mature-yet-not one). I'm babbling. I'm sorry. He looks great, is all, and I hardly get a chance to post with you somewhere you can see it in order to tell you.)
OK, I'll shut my keyboard up now.
Don't you dare! We revel in every pixel!
