O.K., so the eyes are a little different, but virtually everything else about these two little girls practically makes them twins, at least in our minds. Boo, from the Hollywood film "Monsters, Inc.", was such an adorable character. She was vivacious, full of life, into all sorts of mischief, spoke a language that was only intelligible to her blue monster guardian, Sully, and just had the cutest mannerisms. Well, that's Willow to the tee, especially when you put her in those stumpy pigtails. In fact, we had a new babysitter over the other night to take care of the girls while we adults (Victoria, Austin, Meagan, Annie, Barret and me) went out to dinner. The first thing out of the sitter's mouth was, "Wow, she looks just like Boo from Monsters, Inc."
Austin and Meagan left this morning to head back to San Luis Obispo at about 5:30. I got up early and saw them off. Meagan had to get back to work, and Austin had to catch a flight to Denver for an interview with another engineering firm. He's already received two job offers from companies here in California, so he's got some options, which is a real rarity these days. We're all very grateful that God's poured out such remarkable doses of grace as a fruit of his labor. Theses things are never guaranteed.
Annie's now home too, so for the first time since Thanksgiving, which I suppose really wasn't that long ago, we had all of our chicks in the nest over the weekend. We'll get to experience that again on December 23rd when Austin comes back, only we unfortunately won't have Meagan with us.
Well, speaking of monsters, our little Boo is struggling to fall asleep these days, and I can even hear her now making a bit of a ruckus in the back room (it's about 10:00 p.m). I'm going to run back and try to calm the storm.
[Pray for Barret; he has finals all week - he's such a hard working student. We're proud of him.]
Warmly in Christ,
Tom (& Victoria)
