My mum's well enough to have put up the Christmas tree. It's the same tree they've had since the 90's, with some of the decorations probably older. The lights that were older than me broke last year.
This guy was the quintessence of the patient parent model that we saw all day during the wait. He was towing the line for four different numbers, all of them his relatives, while also playing the chaperone for eighteen hours straight. He had twins whom, of course, were dressed identically but for the colors of their track suits [which, to me, seems perhaps even weirder than dressing them verbatim, as the different solid colors kind of seem like a Power Rangers method of keeping them seperate].
On October 24-26 2014, The University of San Francisco invited parents and family to join the USF students for a fun Parents & Family Weekend on the Hilltop Campus.
When I was 3, my parents moved into a church that was built in the 1840's and began renovating it. My parents had just set up a swing for me on a tree in the graveyard surrounding our house. (It was the only tree that you COULD put a swing on, my parents arent weird or anything) I came in from playing one day and my parents asked me how my day was, and I told them I had a new friend named Sarah Jane Taylor, and that she was 3 years old and from a long time ago. My mom thought it was really cute that I had an imaginary friend. Mom told me that I played with Sarah for about a month or so before I met my old best friend Sheena. After that we kind of forgot about Sarah and I still played on the swing in the graveyard with Sheena and everything.
Fast forward a couple of years. I'm 5 and in kindergarten at this time. My dad was mowing the graveyard and a couple of feet from my swing he hit the corner of a stone. Dad went into the shed and got a shovel and dug up the grave. It was just one of those little flat ones, but it had sunk so it was completely vertical and he had a hell of a time getting it out. When he did, he cleaned it off and looked at it and it said

Parents show their appreciation by washing staff member cars as part of Staff Appreciation Week at Lewis Elementary.
My parents haven't had any portraits done lately, so we went to the Old Mill to get some done.
