Just had to check out his 'other daughter's' blog! So glad I did and I feel like I know you. And Little AP sounds great as well. You have given her some great advice for a 13 year old. Too many young people feel like they are being left behind if they haven't experienced life. I say, "wait, it's coming - be yourself and live". Most teenagers rush into things too adult for them and get hurt. I'm much older than any of you - been married 46 years to a wonderful man! When the right man comes along, life is wonderful. I tell my granddaughter, who is 20, not to rush into anything until she is sure that is the man for LIFE! By the way, Annie, you have a beautiful voice. God has really blessed you!

Thanks for bringing joy to my day...I really needed it. AND I need to find those pictures of me from my own homeschooling days and burn them. I happened to be wearing a matching pink jumper with my other homeschooled best friend...with our names embroidered on the front. Don't worry, I'm much cooler in life now.<br/>Lisa. AP and lilAP –

I am the other Annie's Dad, and to have a glimpse into your lives is very dear, knowing that my oldest daughter has become somehow a connector of people all over the world. And of all the things my Annie has said to you, Little Annie, the one that I most agree with is. . . you are adorable.<br/><br/>Annie's Daddy - Paul Dear Little Annie and Daddypundit,

I laughed out loud when I read little Annie's comment "not the jumper kind," because I think Annie and I have used that exact language before.<br/>Annie Parsons, (both of you, I guess), you rock! And, I think I was much older than you (older AP) when I had my first kiss--and it was totally worth the wait. Okay, this is great!

My mom asked me to give you a few 'fun facts' about myself, so you don't have to shoot in the dark about me. :P So... here goes.<br/><br/>I'm a Christian, first and foremost. I'm homeschooled, but not the jumper kind. I'm more like the... pajama kind. :P I'm also a huge fan of the Chronicles of Narnia, and (though my actual bedroom is decorated Breakfast at Tiffany's style) I've filled my "wardrobe" with Lewis junk. :) I can't say I'm as partial to cheese and wine as you are (That age limit thing... pfft.), but I do know how to make bread out of beer. It's actually really good. :) P.P.S. My mom asked me to give you a few ‘fun facts’ about myself, so you don’t have to shoot in the dark about me. :P So… here goes.

They just have a rather different way of dealing with it. <br/>And amen to big AP's words about brothers and sisters. I didn't know what I had in my little brother until we were in college, and now we are best friends. I wish I had known how awesome it is earlier. I would have been a much better person. Little AP,

Although my real name is Anastasia, I've gone by Annie forever! Thank you, "older" Annie, for giving advice that all 13-year-olds should hear. To "Little" Annie, I'm sending you lots of love from Olathe, Kansas and feeling very proud of you... and I don't even know you! :) Your parents have done a great job with you! Give them a hug from another distant Annie, ok? :)<br/><br/>Annie Watson I am smiling from ear to ear! Although my real name is Anastasia, I’ve gone by Annie forever!
