Blast from the Past

I know it's been a very long time.  Don't give up on me, I've just been lazy.

Here is a cute blast from the past my sister-in-law sent me.  It was an old e-mail I had sent her in 2007.  Jay and I have laughed and reminisced reading this.  We can just hear our little bud saying this, using his hands and all animated...like his grandpa, the Quackdaddy.

FYI - Lyla, is our niece.  She and Lane are only ten days apart and have always been pretty close.  In 2007, Lane and Lyla would've been three-and-a-half and Madolyn would have been seven.

I had a bunch of pictures out last night and Lane was
going through them.   He pulled out a picture of he
and Lyla and he said, "She's so pretty."  I said "Is
that your girlfriend?"  "Yeah, she's pretty."    

Last week or so he was telling Madolyn that Lyla was
his girlfriend.  She was arguing with him saying she
could not be.  He said he would marry her.  He got
frustrated and with that shake and tilt of his head, he
says, "I gonna marry her on my tractor."  Madolyn says,
"You can't marry her on a tractor, you have to be in a
church.  He says "I'll drive my tractor to the church
and marry Lyla."  

I have read this a couple times.  As I said before, I can just hear and see him saying these things.  A while back, Lane found the video camera and we watched a bunch of home videos.  Sadly, we don't really take them anymore because we have the phones and iPad, etc.  Watching those videos makes you realize how fast time does pass...and how cute your ornery kids once were.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.  Enjoy those little ones and even the older, sometimes grumpy ones :)
