Tom got a C+ on his math test and Alex is really happy and a little surprised.
Weird Uncle Holtby watching Andre sew the rip in his pants all by himself. He’s so proud!
Carey took this picture of Weird Uncle Holtby when they went out to a local bistro for lunch. He cried for five minutes, and now it’s his phone background and Alex has a print in his wallet.
Andre hanging out with his new friend Christian! Christian’s mom actually called Nicky because Christian thought Andre was bullying him, but Nicky had to explain Andre wasn’t a bully, he was just trying to show affection. He’s an aggressive friend. Christian still isn’t sure if he likes Andre.
Weird Uncle Holtby just heard a big thump from upstairs and he’s trying to decide if he should investigate or keep watching Drag Race.
The PTA meeting was really stressful today, so Alex took Nicky for an 11am drink to de-stress.
Andre is trying a new trick on his pogo stick! Tom thinks it’s gonna be cool, but Nicky and Weird Uncle Holtby are already mentally rearranging their afternoon schedules for a hospital visit.
V’s in a bad mood and he told Weird Uncle Holtby that his socks weren’t even in season and now Alex is comforting a distressed Braden and hissing at Nicky to call the priest to perform an exorcism on V.
V had to get a booster shot and it was a very stressful experience for him because he’s afraid of needles. Weird Uncle Holtby filmed V freaking out so they could laugh later, but they both cried when V got the shot.
I Am Pleased to Announce
Alex won the Best Lawn competition this year and has yet to put the absolutely obnoxiously large trophy down. He sleeps with it in the bed. He hasn’t hugged his children in two days. He did, however, grill burgers for dinner. He served them in the trophy.
Hey kuzy! You have any thoughts about college?
I’m going to go to Georgetown University and major in English Literature. Then I’ll get my masters and PHd and then I’ll become a college professor with a specialization in Austen studies.
I want to live at home forever though.
Love,
Kuzy
Did your brothers do anything fun for you for your birthday?
V woke me up with birthday cake in bed while singing happy birthday in that sweet, sweet voice of his. He’s the perfect boy I love him. Andre showed me pictures of the new 6th grade girls he’s chasing and ate my birthday cake. Tom let me beat him in wrestling.
I have the best brothers in the world.
Love,
Kuzy
Kuzy, did you get a party this year?
Haha yes! It was a Jane Austen themed party. Everyone was supposed to arrive in period dress, but Tom dressed up as Edward Cullen and Mama wore a Fresh Prince of Bel Air t-shirt. They were relocated to the grill for the night as to not disturb the delicate Romantic atmosphere.
Love,
Kuzy
Happy Birthday kuzy! What is your favorite meal that papa makes?
Papa makes a delicious roast pork loin from the Jane Austen Cookbook. Whenever he makes it, I like to pretend I’m Mr. Woodhouse from Emma. Coincidentally, that was my birthday dinner.
Love,
Kuzy
What has been your favourite family vacation? Happy Birthday!
I don’t remember too well anymore, but our family trip to Russia was awesome! I rode Uncle Sasha’s motorcycle, Tom broke his arm, and I had vodka for the first time. I was like 7. God bless Russia.
Love,
Kuzy
Have you talked to Tyler recently
Haha Tyler, that punk. Last I saw him he was doing whippets under the bleachers. I’m totally telling Papa so he can tell Deborah.
Love,
Kuzy
