So the nephew’s official baby debut photo arrived in the mail yesterday. I came home from work to find it on the kitchen counter:
Accompanied by the Hub’s plaintive note:
We’re an interfaith family – Aggies and Longhorns. My late daddy, my husband, my father-in-law and my brother-in-law are all Aggies. (I’m neither Aggie nor Longhorn; I’ll always root for A&M because of my daddy.) Diva and the Monsters intend to be Aggies as well. The new nephew – Monster No. 3, above - is the child of my brother-in-law’s sister and her husband, who’s a Longhorn, as is his dad and his brother and sister in law, the ones who live in England. So the UK neph and nieces, and Monster no. 3, will all be Longhorns (we assume).
Thanksgiving Friday is the only holiday we can’t all spend together.

My Dad, the only neutral one in my entire family, just laughed and laughed when he heard your Hub say that.
Remember also, that my Bro’s Grandparents AND Mother went to UT. He’s the ONLY odd ball of our bunch. And of course the 4 dark years when my FIL had no daughter. Desperately proud of her being in medical school, but couldn’t brag about it because of the school she was attending. Such conflict!
I always forget that Meemaw went to UT.
I remember when Diva was a little bitty thing, she assumed her Uncle J was an Aggie like Daddy, because he works with wood and is good at fixing things, and she assumed that marked him as an Aggie.
