You're welcome and thank you.

Phew, now I can stop trying to remember if I have the most recent code saved on both computers, lol.

brooke4life

haha! glad the stress is off, i just can wait till we can add the first proper family dinner/breakfast to it XD

I'm really hoping they play around with the 'family' aspect that they created. Serena and Eric haven' had a father figure in their lives that we've seen, and Chuck has sorely been missing a strong maternal figure. I want to see those relationships explored.

brooke4life

i couldn't agree more!! i really hope they have the VdB as one of the main staples of the show. i love how they interact with each other especially C/E/S.
ive just noticed by looking in the OP that E/S have both called C for help etc awww!! i just love them!! perhaps a little too much - but i don't think thats possible lol

OMG, you moved so fast. How did I miss the new thread? (Got my hair done and got the DVD in the mail.)

LOVE the OP.

AND! Honorary members? I think Blair would be one. I agree on NOT putting Serena because she isn't (yet), but I think Blair might? It's possible. Her two favorite people under one roof.

Hmm...I want CeCe. We gotta see if she approves!

Add me!
Although I'm not an LB shipper, I love this family so much, their chemistry is amazing. I don't want it to be end game (clearly, check out my sig), but guh theyr'e so much fun! I want plenty more scenes of them in season 2.

The CW website has 4 "Thank you cards" from Lily and Bart up for their wedding. I have such a hard time remembering to write those myself .
