Chapter 5
Our gorgeous boy has grown into a teen. He looks very handsome in his private school uniform.
Me: You know son, now that you're a teenager, you can run right out and get a job! It's never too early to learn the value of hard work.
One day, Alwyn brought home a friend from school. Kenya is a cute girl, but I'm not sure what to make of that hair. She seems to like Alwyn, though.
They seem to get along pretty well, most of the time.
Alwyn: I don't like soup!
And for some reason she keeps coming back.
Alwyn: This one time...
Alwyn:...Dad burned the food!
I'm beginning to wonder what she sees in him.
Okay, so we're not the most mature parents.
Here's Kenya sharing a tender moment with Alwyn. Aww...
Then she turns right around and does a joybuzzer on Jess. She's not very nice - but I suppose she'll fit right into this family.
Lately, Pyrus has not gotten along with his mate, Cinder, at all. And, just I feared it would, it has come to blows between the two.
Thank goodness they had a litter of kittens before this happened. There would be no breeding them now.
Because they hate each other.
Stupid shower!
Why haven't we bought a new shower, yet?
I'm a romantic at heart. I always make time for my beautiful wife.
Me: What a fabulous woohoo!
Jess: Eh, I've had better.
I've finally done it! I've made it to the top of the medical career!
Alwyn: Ow! That hurt!
Me: You need to toughen up if you're going to be the man of the house someday.
Alwyn asked Kenya what she thought of him.
Poor kid. Being a teen is tough.
Alwyn: I don't like beach balls!
Maybe if he would spend more time romancing Kenya and less time hugging on that cat, things would be different. I know, because I'm an expert in that department.
Aw, Alwyn's first kiss. Isn't that just the sweetest thing?
Alwyn: It's okay, Mom. You don't have to tell me what first woohoo means. I already know.
Jess: WHAT?!
It wasn't long before our baby boy was heading off to college, sniff sniff.
Here's our boy, all grown up. We didn't realize he'd be dragging Kenya off to college with him...and rooming together.
Now, we've heard lots of things about college life. Of wild parties...
...juvenile behavior...
...and other unmentionable behavior.
But we don't have a thing to worry about with Alwyn.
He's always been a great kid. He's always known right from wrong.
We know he's studying hard to bring in those high grades and fabulous scholarships.
And we trust him completely. We couldn't have asked for a better son.
Our handsome boy has returned from college. He asked Kenya to move in - he's crazy about her and wants to get married. I'm thrilled for him.
Jess and I have aged during Alwyn's college years, and it's time for me to hand over the family story to him, now. And I couldn't be happier.
*Squirt - I promise I haven't forgotten that you asked about the windows. I actually haven't been in the game lately, but I'll check the next time I open it up to take shots for BL&D.
