Hey guys - ping ping! It's time to hear from everyone again!
It's difficult to give a speech to a silent audience, and the same goes for these emails. I so appreciate those of you who write back from time to time and tell me which stories struck a cord with you, or what's going on with you, or even just "hi". But MANY of you do not. I even forget sometimes how many people I sent these emails to, when there are so few responses! I remember a time when we all wrote weekly and all had plenty of stories to read, but that was many a moon ago...
On the subject of many a moon ago, this weekend was the second dumpster weekend! We cleaned out the closets in the front hall (one is a walk-in that I could no longer walk-in to!). Amongst the lost treasures of the front hall was a camcorder and stack of tapes, circa 1997-2001. And so we watched some movies of me looking very fat (Jesse: "Don't worry mommy, you still look beautiful, but you have a big belly"), and of Timothy having a much different head to body ratio than he does now.
I was strikingly large. I realize in much of the video I was either pregnant or up to several months post-giving-birth. But still, I was strikingly large. On the one hand it was hard to look at myself, but on the other I felt good that I don't look like that any more. And the eyebrows - yikes.
So anyway, if I haven't heard from you in the last 3 months, it's time to write back - or write a group email of your own! That would qualify as well :)
