My oldest of four is 13, and I had been feeling sad about time rushing past. Like others have said, your posts have made me excited (and intrigued) about who these children will become.

I recently met some teenagers (my children's music teachers) and was so happy and surprised to find them gentle-hearted and fun. Thanks for the glimpse into Giles' life. As a mother of only boys- I'm always curious how the older ones are faring. Quite well, yes?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640390537671554150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-5130595005330663032010-12-14T16:02:32.438-06:002010-12-14T16:02:32.438-06:00My oldest son is 16.

There is so much pessimism in our culture about teenagers and especially about raising them. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to read about the joy you find in mothering your teenagers. <br /><br />oh, and thanks for the link to welcome wagon! so glad to know about this album!erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-13218368570712814082010-12-14T09:24:33.375-06:002010-12-14T09:24:33.375-06:00How did Alejandro feel about having Giles sleeping...How did Alejandro feel about having Giles sleeping on him?

My brother lives in Austin so that has been my introduction to hipster culture. I love that your hipsters pull out their "Bibles and latest CS Lewis selections." I adore Welcome Wagon and discovered them by way of Sufjan Stevens who sings the most beautiful rendition of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing." <br />What a joyful time in your home!
