Miles

My guy Miles is changing/growing up so much this year. When I brought home this flannel shirt (from a shopping trip in New Bern with Peggy) I was surprised how much he liked it (it has a collar after all, so I was sure he'd consider it a "fancy church shirt" and hate it). Instead, he ended up loving it -- and also ended up coming back with wet/spiked hair. He hasn't worn his hair like this since -- but I love knowing that this side of him is in there. :)

Miles came home with a little gift for Mike & me a couple of weeks ago: a little calendar. He decorated the outside and wrote us a note inside. He's not our big 'emotional guy' -- much more of a thinker than a feeler -- which made this gift even sweeter.
(excuse the terrible photos)

He also came home with this letter to Santa. I love that he believes. I also love that he mentions "people that don't have any toys". Glad to know that some of Mike/my parental yakking is sinking in. :)

love how you're hoping to have a punk rock, skate-boarding boy in the fam. it looks good on miles.
miles' letter to you guys is so sweet. and the letter to santa is cute--love how he writes as if he's talking (i do that, too).
