A THORNE BY ANY OTHER NAME

Here's a picture of me and Renee' and Little Girl Robertson (sort-of) from this weekend. We had a wonderful gathering of family. It struck me that, not only has our family grown so much in the last few years, but everyone has taken on new familial titles. New titles include Fill-inthe-blank-in-Law, wife and husband, Dad and Mom, Parents, Aunt and Uncle, expectant parents, Great-granny, Nanie and Grandad, Great Aunt and Uncle, Second cousins. . . Even little Aubrey has a new title; she hasn't always been a Sister!

The only person who hasn't gained a new title is Pete. He's been a son, brother, grandson, great-grandson, nephew, great-nephew, cousin, second-cousin and dog-owner, all since the day he was born. I was trying to think of what new title he might gain in the near future, but I think he's stuck until he becomes a boyfriend. And with all his charm, that probably won't be long!

This face makes my soul want to eat chocolate pudding.
