A Dee-Deeish Delight

Dee Dee (some know her as Helen) is technically Owen's first cousin once removed. But since 1) that's way too cumbersome of a title and 2) she's a WHOLE lot more than that, we just call her "Aunt Dee Dee." It was an executive decision of sorts.

(Her nickname -- Dee Dee -- comes from Dee-Deeism, a revolutionary contemporary philosophy. It would be impossible to explain Dee-Deeism in a blog entry, but just know that it was founded under the mentorship of Dee Dee's glorious parents -- my aunt and uncle -- Marcia and Michael Thomas.)

Dee Dee is very silly and very fun and very sassy and sweet as candy. Owen is developing excellent early habits hanging out with women of this sort.

Here, Dee Dee and Owen sit down for a story together:
I think Owen has all the makings of a future Dee Dee, and this makes me very very proud.
