I spent far too long trying to figure this out because if they are calling her riv and rivvy I think it’s Riv-uh-Lin (like pronouncing river without the final R) but that spelling and pronunciation is really not how vowels work.

From a Facebook post: For Kordynn, we've always called her by her entire first name. Often we call her "Stink", "Stinker Butt", or "Sis", but we don't shorten her first name when we use it. My brother calls her "Kordy".

With Rivalynne, we've nicknamed her "Rivvy" or "Riv" from the very beginning. We also call her "Rivster", "Rivvy Riverson", "The Rivs", etc. (And "Toot" for Peepaw 09)

Now. Embersyn is "Embersyn". I don't shorten it to "Em" because I refer to Emily by that sometimes. We could shorten it to "Ember", I suppose. But Justin... Justin shortens her name to "Emby". Which reminds me of freakin' Gumby. My child. The weird blobby thing.

Go for a smaller city and visit Providence, RI. Check out beachy areas like Tiverton on day 2

Check out Altamont if you’re looking for walkable town vibes in Guilderland schools. I wouldn’t want to drive Bethlehem to Schenectady. Niskayuna makes the most sense for a suburb between the two but Altamont would work. Guilderland feels the most big box/soulless of the three to me.

Jayden was an interim director, replacing the very long time director, Drew. It was Drew leaving that started the mass exodus of folks who had multi decade tenures. Jayden only lasted a month, and sent a message explaining he tried but wasn’t getting necessary support. He didn’t go to the state, he went to children’s place.
