Lost my mind a thousand times…

I haven’t actually seen my family since Ellie’s birthday party in July. It always feels weird getting together with my siblings because I am so much not like them. I never really realized how much until I didn’t see them constantly.

Hunter has a mustache and is taller than Mike. He’ll be seventeen in two months.

Noah is finally taller than me, his voice is changing, and he tries to speak in a higher register in an attempt replicate the way he used to sound.

Ellie is catching up to Amy in height and grins at me like it’s the funniest thing ever that she’s—several inches—taller than Auntie Sara now.

By some Thanksgiving miracle Mike didn’t have to work at Best Buy today and doesn’t have to report in until 6AM tomorrow.

And never mind the turkey—Mom had a container of raisin cookies sans raisins waiting for me. Awesome.

She also unloaded a bunch of leftover Halloween candy on us and half a pan of pumpkin bars.

One month til Christmas when we see them all again.

Christmas.

Already.

What.

The hell.

Wonderful Day
O.A.R.
