The Wylie family reunion has come and gone. As always, it was
a jumble of Wylie fun, and as always, I came home pretty
exhausted. You might think that saying “as always” would be
silly, as I have only been a Wylie for two years, and therefore, you
might assume that this was only my second reunion. However, you
would be wrong. This was, in fact, my fourth Wylie reunion.
The first one I attended during the infamous (and poorly named) “just
friends” stage in our relationship. The second I attended as the
intended of Mr. Tim Wylie, sans Tim Wylie (who was out galavanting all
over Europe and Africa). Last year, of course, I was carting
around a Maya-belly, and this year, I was carting around a free
standing Maya. (And by free standing, I mean independant of my
organs and body, not free standing in the sense that she can, in fact,
stand). Anyhow. Fun times. I ate waaaaaaaaaay too
many M&Ms though. Holy cow.
Now, I’m back in dear ol Searcy, scrambling frantically to pack up
all of our earthly possessions so that we can truck them down to our
teeny tiny baton rougian apartment. You’ve seen circus cars with
clowns in them…yeah, it’ll be like that. We have less than 700
square feet. BUT, it has forced us to (yay) get rid of some
stuff. Woo-hoo for less stuff.
In Maya news: she can wave now. I’m fairly certain she doesn’t
know the actual meaning of waving, but if you wave at her she’ll wave
back. Along those same lines, if you say “uh-oh” to her, she’ll
say “uh-oh” or “uh-ahh” or some other variation. Cute, I say!

Man, your kid is soooo presh. (That’s as in, prec-ious. I am still not really sure how to spell the shortened version, so I just went phonetic.) I hate that you are going to be so close to the Rock, and not actually here for said activities. (But if you want to come, it’s not too late to change your mind! You can stay with my mom! She’s the only one there now, there’s gobs of room! And she likes babies! I’m just saying.) Anyway, I love you and miss you. And wave at Maya for me.
The eprop is for the awesome shifty-eyed picture of Maya in a box, glancing toward whom one can only assume is a Mr. Randy Wylie. She’s way too adorable.

Aww, Eliza was like a puppy.
I love your Dr. Seuss-ian photos/captions.
Re: M&m’s, everytime I see a Dairy Queen menu with Mint M&m Blizzard on it, I think of you.
AND, not only does lo’s mom like babies… so do the rest of us! Bring on the baby-fun!

Friday around three…I’ll be here (of course), as will Laura, and, it sounds like Eliza as well. Brook and Mike not so much, and Jena will be at work. However, if you were to stay one more day…

I’m really sorry that we’re not going to see you while we’re here. Keep those pictures of the bean coming, or else she’ll be fourteen before I see her again! It really is sad that you can’t be here, probably more so for you than for us, so I don’t know why I’m whining about it. I just want you to know that I love you. That’s all, just a little love. (or a lot)

Ok, I’m posting this on here, because your husband’s site has been tainted with an outsider… What’s up with random people breaching our xanga community? Is this allowed? I feel all violated.
