THE BLOG
Jacob, Today you turn 19 years old. I know, that is my reaction too. While I was able to get out of writing your birthday letter last year, by spending hours putting together a birthday video, I doubt that will work this year. But I am beginning to see where you get the ability to...
Over the holiday break I managed to wrestle Joe from Tifani’s grasp, and let me just tell you, I’ve had easier times wrestling bears in the wild. With my hard earned time, I managed to teach him how to shave, and convince him that he wanted to “stay the night for a year.” In my...
Where to start?!
First of all, I LOVE your new background and header. “Where successful parenting ends” haha haha Mainly it is hilarious because you are an awesome mom and one of the few people I think could do a good job raising my kids.
Second, FABULOUS pictures! Holy cow! I totally LOVE them! And really, we did super appreciate Joseph mentioning staying the night for a year every 15 minutes. He really did a great job at follow through on that.
Third, profound insight about Jacob. And you know where I am on that, too. So glad the Sants kids can help you with your self-insight. I prefer to eat whenever I start getting reflective. Or sleep. Good on ya, mate.
Fourth, thanks, man.
Oh, and if we had named Sari Elizabeth she would probably believe she had just been born into the wrong family because you weren’t ready to have her yet. I anticipate waking up one morning to a note that she has moved in with you :).
Oh my goodness. I love this so much I can hardly stand it!
And, I’m very impressed that these young men handled a straight razor better than my husband.
They’re adorable. The razor thing stops being cute when three or four of them are leaving stubble in the sink but I think you’ve got a while yet. 🙂
Who told me that I could post daily through the Christmas holiday season? Of course I would use this time to bring down my whole wordpress system so that I could not post. (It’s been down for the last 2 days, it’s back now, obviously, as I’m posting again.) I smoke crack.
I just don’t know why you didn’t fix WordPress yesterday. It’s not like you had anything going on…
I have now officially missed two days of NaBloPoMo December. In my defense, yesterday I was anxiously engaged in waiting for the UPS man. Why you may ask? Because he was bringing my brand new computer, but shhhhh it’s the family Christmas present. Don’t tell. Also, I may or may not have waited all day...
I pity da fool who tries to stop you. (Said in Mr. T voice.)
HEY! Just cuz I value the spirit of Christmas and can actually wait with anticipation doesn’t make me a bad guy.
And I will be named dammit! That’s MR. Barefoot Belle to you!
Martha would be proud. the nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens and Shabby Apple Ingrid dress Sigh. *Hand made in that I printed it, cut it out and glittered it, of course.
I think we’ve reached the point where you need serious help. :o) P.S. Thanks for the Christmas greetings.
That is beautiful!
Happy Birthday to Jacob! I love this letter! It made me laugh and it made me teary. Two must haves for excellence in writing.
I have great plans for your great room, too. I mean, it takes a lot space to house the Sants when we are homeless in a few weeks. I am sure that Jacob won’t mind sharing even ONE LITTLE BIT! I bet we become bffs in an hour!
I always love your birthday letters. They are the best.
And dude, please change the background. It is dark and depressing and not at all like the spunky ‘E’ I know.
