When asked why, you blamed it on your Spanish class.</li><li>Bow - you kept pronouncing it like bow and arrow, not take a bow</li><li>Unadequate - you had a hard time believing that's not a word (11/30/2020)</li><li>Bike boys - in reference to paper boys</li><li>Scientifical - "It's a 'scientifical' fact".</li><li>Psychology - you read it as "physocolgy”</li><li>"Look how much chips I have". (4/12/2021)</li><li>Over - you read it as "uver", like "oven". We were looking at birthday candles at the time. Then, when I said that the rest of the candles said "the hill", you said "the hill over?"

You had Daddy and Nonna on Facetime while you clicked on the email, letting you know that you got in. I cried. I think Daddy did too. I'm just so proud of you, Magoo. None of us were expecting to hear from colleges this early, so this was a pleasant surprise. After you found out you called Papa, then Zio and Goggy and the same time, then Titi, then Uncle Josh, then Michaela, Jules, Auntie Susan, and everyone else we could think of who had some hand in helping you become who you are today. <i>Everyone</i> was smiling through the phone - you could hear it. Now we wait for financial aid offers to come through to see where you'll end up this fall. No matter what, you worked hard for this and we can't wait to see what you do with the opportunities before you.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396119828161974182.post-24262572582024715882023-08-20T12:19:00.001-07:002023-08-20T12:19:11.549-07:00August 20th, 2023We’ve just gotten back from a week in Florida looking at colleges. First UT and then UF, which you liked better between the two. I’m hoping that you kick butt this first quarter and that your grades thus far, plus a killer essay, will be enough to get you where you want to go. Although I may not love the school like you do, if it’s what you want, it’s what I want.

Sorry, Goose.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some updates:</p>
<p dir="ltr">- you are an A student<br>
- basketball is your absolute passion<br>
- you played on 3 teams this year<br>
- your ankle is injured and you need PT, so your season is over<br>
- you're handing the above really, really well: no drama<br>
- you're incredibly handsome, and you have girls texting you telling you so<br>
- you draw a comic for the school newspaper<br>
- you love your religion</p>
<p dir="ltr">You are amazing. You're becoming a teen, and you have the tone of voice to prove it. You get down on yourself when you get in trouble, which you're in right now. You love your family, and when you want to you are THE BEST big brother. I love you more than I can say.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Today was the Blizzard of 2015, named Juno. You spent most of it playing on the iPad or fighting with your sister, while Daddy and I played Monopoly. I kicked his butt, by the way. Tonight Rae is sleeping over - all three of you are in your sister's room. Hopefully tomorrow you'll get to go sledding for the first time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Love you, Goose. :)</p>

I said, "That's great! But I hope you're still playing with the kids who aren't as good as you are. You're measured in life not just by how you treat the people who have what you have, but by how you treat the people who have less than you." You replied, "I already know that, Nana taught me that."

The theme was "The Magic of a Moment". You drew a picture of yourself in the backyard shooting in a basket. You wrote that it's not about winning the big game, but rather that every successful shot was a magic moment. You came up with that all by yourself (and had you listened to me and Daddy, you probably wouldn't have won).
