Tomorrow is January 2. One of the five happiest days of my life. It's the day Kyle was born. Dave was so excited. All through the pregnancy, Dave was sure this was a girl. He bought this little pink sleeper. He was just sure that Kyle was a girl. Actually, he was sure it was a girl all four times! But if he were to be a boy, his name was to be Kenny or Erik. Kenny or Erik. Erik or Kenny. We went back and forth. Dave said, "Oh, it didn't matter anyway, since Amanda Loree was going to be born." A few days before Kyle was born, we had an ultrasound, because there had been so much confusion on his due date (turned out he was 3.5 weeks overdue!), and we discovered he was a boy! A boy! We were amazed. And suddenly decided to name him Kyle. Don't ask me why or how. It just happened. Dave's brother, Bob, was in town for the weekend.

Koda is absolutely beautiful, but she still manages to be cute and friendly-looking at the same time---no mean feat for a German shepherd. If I had seen her, I would have entered the insanity myself!
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see your note on my guestbook today. What a wonderful surprise that was. I can't tell you how many times I've planned to try calling you late at night my time (kids-heading-to-bed your time) and then, as evening wore on, it was just not the night for it after all, or I collapsed, or I forgot as I went to move another load from washer to dryer. : ) But I'd definitely love to talk soon and find out how Kenny, Zach, and Kate are doing and how YOU are doing. I can't believe we are approaching another anniversary. Is it really possible? Wow. You are busy and always running, I know, but maybe what I should do is write and make a "phone call appointment" for a night that will work for you. What do you think?
Thanks for the big smile you brought me today and for that reminder of just how special "the other corner" will always be to me.
THIS IS THE CUTEST PUPPY EVER, AND I SAID THAT ABOUT DUKE!!! You ARE insane, but hey, you'd be insane NOT to take her!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun !!!!

Oh, She is soooo cute. We had a German Shepherd once. She just showed up at our house. We named her Moouch. She was the most loyal dog we ever had.
ReplyDeleteShe is so pretty.
We are so happy! You gave Duke a wonderful home and now a play mate for him! I bet she outgrows him in no time! Our friends have a GShep. and he is very LARGE!!
ReplyDeleteHope your summer is going well.
Give Duke a squeeze for us and the kids too!
Love Ya---
