About Me
- k
- I'm a nice quiet middle-aged former bankbuster, disabled since age 32 with a myriad of weird health issues. I love heat and humidity and odd hobbies like fossil hunting, tromping around in the Everglades, backyard bricklaying, and rescuing plants damaged by our spate of hurricanes. Oh - I like to live-blog hurricanes, too.***** I have a wonderful life. I'm one of the happiest people I know. Why? I don't know.***** I also have nightmare memories in my head that would send some folks around the bend. But that's another story, one I don't tell much, and I seem to have made it past the horror parts pretty well.***** I have nothing to prove so it's hard to insult me. I know who I am. I own the space I live in - and I don't mean just my house. My life is way far from perfect, but I'm content.***** For some readers, that would make this a boring blog. For others, my fun adventures, absurd health episodes, and particular way of looking at things keep 'em entertained enough, in the end.

oh, he is a bitty baby. Nice and pink though!
What a beautiful little boy! Congrats to everyone! What are they going to name him?
good looking kid
Yes! He's small but so perfect, isn't he? Pink! Just like we like our Heart Attack Men to look. :p
miss assassin, last set of posts I kept thinking of a comment you'd left, months ago, about a scripture passage talking about an angel over ever blade of grass, saying, --Grow! Grow!
This time? Your photo of baby Rhys, brand new, cradling his tiny foot in your hand. That image will be with me forever. The last few days it's in my mind almost non-stop.
He is beautiful, isn't he? His first initial is W.
Thank you, Kenny! heh! I tend to think newborns aren't always the cutest things you ever saw, not right away. They're beautiful in a different way than that.
But this one? He looks very good!
So maybe I'm just being a proud great aunt. I know that. But I don't give a brass button, either way. He's ADORABLE!!!!!!
Wheeeee! Congratulations!
Thank you, Pretty Lady! I am SO THRILLED to be a great aunt. YIPEE!!!!!
I was never meant to be a mother. There are those of us meant to be aunts and uncles. I am one of them.
And now - now - the next generation of Ontie-ness is with me.
WOW.
Oh, do enjoy your ontie-ness, k, enjoy it for many years!
This is when they are the most precious. I could just sit and look at a newborn baby forever! Congrats again!
Awww k! Congratulations to the new parents and to Auntie k too! He is such a beautiful precious little bundle, isn't he? What a wonderful early Christmas gift.
I miss those newborn days when my daughter was so tiny.
hmmmm....he is beautiful/handsome...i love the shape of his lips...
and, you know...some of the things most dear...are those we hold in our hearts...not only in our arms...there may come a time, when he's 'slurpin 'n burpin' all over you, then...maybe not...but, the love is so much the 'same'...and, it just grows and grows...
betsye...of the 'three dots'...smiles
Ohhhh..such a precious baby, Auntie K! And just look at that tiny little hand!
Merry Christmas, k and Walter!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Merry Christmas...off to a grand start with that precious bundle of joy!
Christmas love to you and Walter...so much Christmas Love!!
....do i need to 'borrow' your search party plan?..I MISS YOU!!!
betsye
Looks like he was painted by one of the Phlegmish painters. God's own booger...
granny j, I somehow didn't get that the great-ontieness of it would be so...great.
I love being an aunt. I don't know why I never got through my thick head how the next line down would be this fun, too.
livey, oh yes! I can't count how many times I've looked at that pic now. I can't get enough of it.
cindi, I can see how that would be. You're so lucky to have maintained such a great relationship with your daughter. Few parents can say that. And I suspect there was more to it than just luck.
In your shoes, I'd be closing my eyes and thinking back to that tiny newborn too.
yes, betsye. Exactly. He's in there now and there's no way, ever, he could get dislodged.
He feels as real and close to me as if I really could hold him in my arms. I can smell that new-baby smell, feel that skin like gentle velvet...
jan, it is SO tiny! I have the advantage of knowing how small his mother's hands are. Like mine, see? That tiny baby hand, it looks like he's grasping a perfectly large grownup's finger.
But no. He's holding onto another near-miniature.
And thank you all. Merry Christmas right back atcha. Yes. An early bundle of joy for this day.
Bane, I totally agree. And thank you for that! See, I keep telling myself it's just the Doting Great Aunt thing.
But then I look again. It ISN'T. That pic captures a purity of light and true sweetness that those Flems had a lock on like no one else...
I look at that picture and understand the words *Love* and *Miracle,* they rise unbidden and undeniable into my mind.
