I decided to arrive early. A date had been predetermined for me (Sep. 8, 2008). Hmm… 9-8-8 is cool and all, but I wanted something even better. After all, I’m the last to arrive into this family. I needed to do so with a big tada, and I really needed a cool birthdate.
Thus it was that I initiated my escape in the late evening hours of 8-7-8 such that I could arrive into the world on 08-08-08. Now that’s what I call a special day.
Well, that about all I can say about me, because, well, I’m just not that old yet to have any more good stories. But if my arrival says anything about me, look out mami and papi, look out brother and sister… here I am.
p.s. My Tio Izzy (yes, I have an uncle named Izzy-Israel- and a grandpa, aka lalo, also an Israel– it’s a family name, deal with it), anyway, my Tio Izzy calls me el coquí. It’s a Puerto Rican thing — but you can find an explanation of it here. I don’t know how long it’ll stick, but I thought I’d mention it for kicks.
Grandma/Grandpa Wilson: Oh boy, the ornament clusters brought back memories; I can remember Lonni and Jody doing the same thing. And of course, we too had to sneek around when they weren't watching and spread them out...lol. I'm sure as you continue the traditions at your house, they will have wonderful memories of them as they grow and then raise their own children...and the legacy continues! Have a wonderful Christmas, we absolutely wish we could be there, but alas, we do love snow---only from a distance this days. TV, mountain tops viewed from our valley, and lots of your "snow" pictures are
Melodia Wilson: Thankfully, no one had to give up a Lazy boy. Amazing but true, we were able to keep all three chairs and the kiddie table in the living room! LOL! It's a tight fit, but we managed. Hehehe.
ang: The tree looks great with only one thing missing - snowflakes! FYI: Born and raised in snowbelt country and there is no beating the true Lake Effect machine. Try sitting by Lake Erie watching the clouds roll in and the snow blanket all around you---that is a true WNY experience. We know it can snow any time even after a 70 degree day in mid March! Glad to see the kids enjoy the snow it is a true icon of this region try out the huge hills at Jamestown Community College--when they are about 10! As an adult it was
Lala: Mel you outdid yourself! Great job!
Lonni Wilson: C'mon, that candy thing isn't all me. Besides, that's how I was raised... my dad was a connoisseur of candy. Oh, and understand someone, I was buying bulk candy in junior high and taking it to school in a tupperware box in my backpack... yeah, a regular "candy man" and I loved it! So c'mon, jokes all around about the candy guy.
