I miss your family!
They make Cars chicken nuggets? Gabriel would die of joy.
Did you get a piano? Cuz that would be AWESOME!
Much love,
Meegan (who seems to be a mix of Olivia-universe obsession and loud noise hater-and Macey-bossy pants)
Yeah, we aren't discussing my age. Grumble.
Thank you for commenting on my blog because 1)it reminded me that I have a blog...and 2) it reminded me that you have probably posted another witty and humorous yet insightful post to your blog! And look I was right!
Yes, I agree, I was actually going to call you today! And I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your kids...is that your version of a Christmas card?
Awww! I miss them all!
By the way, do you play words with friends via facebook? Or via ipad? Cuz I play via ipad, but I really only play with Jordan... cuz he's my only friend :-(
want to have a little intellectual smack talk? :-D
Also you should move to Washington. Because apparently that's where my kids and husband want to live.
On the bad side, it gets cold-er and grey in the winter (but not really so cold as to snow...) there's no Benja's (but there is a HUGE asian influence here... so possibilities!) and it's far away from your family and where you want to live :-(
On the good side, it's closer to Alaska (which apparently DJ likes? eh?) it's close to the ocean (which is pretty darn cool! we see sea lions every week, and whale season is coming up...) we DO get summers, AND (big drum roll) it's closer to me :-D
...and everyone needs a little more me!
