About Me
- Gettysburg Mom
- Keeping Friends and Family Current on our sometimes mundane and sometimes madcap adventures....
Who's who, again?
Gettysburg Mom: Um, that's me, the mom.
Rich: We call him Daddy around here, but that seems a bit personal for you.
Shea: He's 12.
Atlee: She's 8.
Greeley: She's 5.
Emerson: He's 2.
....and adding to the roll call: Uncle Michael. Because when you outsource your blog to someone, they should get a mention in the credits. I don't know how old he is.
Two cats, two fish and did you perhaps hear ABOUT MY DOG?! That's right, a dog. They're all alive still but the house plants didn't make it.

Glad to see that that little endearing quality is not gender specific! Gavin (who will be six in two weeks) has decided that it's just the greatest thing to do, especially to almost complete strangers. Hey if mom and dad are standing there talking to them, they deserve to feel a toot on their foot and see him running away giggling. Oh manners are almost completely lost on that one :) His "Please can I sit on your lap?" is shortly followed by the toot, laugh and "excuse me!" This'll be a story to relay in full glory and much to his chagrin when he is older... O no, not really, I'm not really one of those mean parents! :D
This made me laugh out loud!!! :-)
It's Deanna...I can't leave my screen name for some reason.
If she'd only thought of this while we were in Myrtle Beach, she might have been able to defeat Grandpa.
(It's Mom. I couldn't remember my ID or password.)
I wouldn't count on tooting for an Atlee victory over Grandpa.
Grandpa's a tremendous tooter.
