Post-Michigan Clarity/Longwood Notes and Announcement

You must make a promise to that child ... you must promise to never, never combine Christmas and birthday gifts.

We've actually talked about this quite a bit. I think our plan is, in future years when it matters, have her birthday for her friends and dinner with us (party or whatever) on 12/18, but we'll celebrate her half birthday 6/18 with gifts.

Or at least that was the shape of the discussion, I'm sure we'll figure it out as we go.

Also, here's an overdue pic since a few asked.

I don't know the relevance of this fact, but my aunt's birthday is the 22nd. Or the 28th. I forget which. But it's 3 days from Christmas. Anyway, I guess when she was a kid, her parents (my grandparents) asked her if she wanted to celebrate her birthday in December or in June. She chose December. Maybe that's because that's the way she always did it. Or maybe that's just the way she really wanted it. My point is that when she reaches a certain age (what age? I don't know) maybe you want to consider letting her choose.

I'm the 16th, always celebrated in December and it never bothered me. Have a cousin born on Christmas. We just always had a separate little party for her later in the afternoon after "Christmas" wound down at my Grandma's. I think as long as you make the day special, kids will enjoy it no matter what you do.

Congrats. What a little cutie.

She's so cute it's almost hard to believe that in a few months her first words will be 'Fuck Michigan'.

Hi all! We got home yesterday evening, and have begun the adaptation process. First night went relatively well, and all I could do was be thankful that we were back home with Clarity and our dogs. My mother-in-law is phenomenal, and has been/will be helping us out for a while as I get back in my feet. So happy to have a new Buckeye to celebrate the holidays with.

Thank you all for your kind words and well wishes!
