Okay - just checking! I'm very excited to see pictures. We talked about the twig issue, and I'm sure it'll be fine - that's kind of why I was thinking about adding in the oak leaves - camoflauges the lack of stemmage. My fondest hope is that someone else will say "I want one of those." Heh, heh.

My God - 13 was horrible. Sullen, sulky, not *quite* rude enough to call on it... I actually called my mother up and apologized for my own teen years. It was with decidedly mixed feelings that I heard her say "really, you weren't that bad." Our experience is that this will pass in a few years. Grit your teeth, don't do anything that you'll both regret in a few years, and hang on. It'll get better.
