Every year I make Andrew a new calendar of family memories to go in his office at work. I started a long time ago when we were young and poor grad students* (now we're old and middle class grad students*...so moving up in the world) and Shutterfly sent an offer for a free calendar. I still wait for those free offers and this year's offer happened to come right in the middle of finals week, basically.
I was swamped with work, but I still managed to churn out a calendar for him.
Were the pictures the most carefully curated? Not remotely, but my motto is that any picture printed out is better than no picture printed out. And I was pleased with myself for crossing one gift off of my long list of gifts to procure.
Then it arrived in the mail and I...noticed I made a huge mistake...but wrapped it up anyway...because what option did I have at that point?!
Andrew was already confused by the wrapping job.
And...passing it all around...so that everyone else can laugh about it, too...
Zoë grabbed a spare piece of cardboard and made a computer screen that says "The Phillips Heiss Family."
Because our family is always waiting to pounce on opportunities like this!
