For those of you wanting a visual on how much Emmett has grown in the last year, here he is towering over his mom.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Wow! Also because I only see her in occasional pictures, I'd forgotten how stunning JZ is. Makes me worry about my memory sometimes. Not the sort of thing a man should forget.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love how the heights and relative sizes in that photo have no relationship to reality. Looking good, Seth.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I got Kristen a meat tenderizer that is brass knuckles with the flat spiky back so you can punch your chicken flat.
We thought of you, ita.

Fun prezzie, Allyson!
Emmett didn't know he was getting an iPad this year.
But JZ's family stepped up and pooled their resources to get him something nice since he's been such a trooper about the very early morning commutes, plus he's raised his grades and lowered his time in the mile and he's been a great big brother too. He really deserved a treat, and he's pretty ecstatic.
Also JZ got him a t-shirt for the show Archer that says "Grill Me A Cheese" and Emmett assures me that it is the greatest item of clothing he's ever had.
And now he's working on his Pirates of the Caribbean Lego set.

I've been eying that for myself, Allyson. But I keep buying tee shirts instead.

Timelies all. Presents have all been opened, kids are happy with their haul as am I. Now they are at their dad's for their second round of gifts.
CJ got his own laptop (he had my 5 year old laptop for a while and then a laptop borrowed from his dad) and a bunch of nerd shirts (thinkgeek.com, woot.com, teefury.com and lolshirts.com are great sources). K-Bug got her KitchenAide mixer and she is quite excited. With that big gifty, she didn't get a whole lot else from me, so I tried to throw her off by wrapping a thing of sugar and a thing of flour. She figured out the mixer just from opening the sugar.
I have no pictures, alas. I need to be better about that. With them gone for now, I'm just chilling and watching It's a Wonderful Life.

Merry Christmas.
We opened presents at my sister's at 6a, slept some, came over to the hospital around noon. They all went back home, and I'm hanging here through dinner, then back. Am so sleepy. Had fun opening my Mom's to and from stuff here. She is doing great, and word is she may be able to go home tomorrow with an oral regimen. That would be awesome.
Love all the pix people are sharing here, FB, etc. Ah, the modern era.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
We had deer come and visit us in my sister's back yard for Christmas.
