I'm an auntie!

[lenora_rose]

of sorts. bighairyviking being my long-ago adopted little brother. We haven't seen each other as much lately, alas: Me having a JoJo to deal with and he having a bunch of house-prepping and house-moving related stuff. I *did* get out with sun_in_her_hair not too long ago, to go swimming with her and her own semi-adopted not-really-family-but-family-anyway niece Melly.

But now they officially have their Billy. Or as they put it, "We made a person!":

William Donald (mom's surname redacted)



I do hope I can visit soon, though I'm not sure whether taking JoJo along would be good or not - one the one hand they like kids, on the other hand, i want to be one of those useful visitors (and do dishes or sweep or bring food) or a very brief visitor, and the former is made much more difficult if towing a 17 month old along, especially as JoJo sometimes attempts a tantrum right now (It's usually not terribly effective, but I have been reminding myself I have to consciously choose my responses, not go with whatever I'm planning to do anyhow.)

Life for me continues apace. Good get-togethers with friends, much JoJo time, too much computer time (that isn't writing time), some swimming, some exercise, And too much ******* snow
