Home in Fresno now. Today was Emily Roellke's high school graduation. Sitting in the auditorium, watching all of the kids walk the stage, I realized two things: how very little time has passed since I graduated, and how much time has really passed since I graduated. It was yesterday and ten ages ago. Bizarre.

Also, Emily was by far the cutest little girl born after 1981 and since. (Obviously I can't deny my personal adorableness. It's unreal.) My dad made her a video similar to mine (much more high techy- a DVD with scene selections and fades between scenes... very posh...) and I've been watching it since I got home. Still in love with it. The kid was adorable. Brilliant. It's intense. My favorite: these are her new words to "You Are My Sunshine" that she made up at age 2.5 while playing with her Barbie dolls (verbatim):

Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'm gonna take my Unshine away
It's name is Kipper
And such a idea
Cept I'm gonna take her to the garage
Cept I'm gonna put her in the car
Chu chu I love you
And such a idea
And chu I love you

Her version of Jingle Bells:
Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
