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. I'd had a lot of contractions on Dave's birthday, he was hoping that Kyle would be born on his birthday, but it didn...

I agree football makes almost everything better. Did you watch those Seahawks pull it out today? Great pictures of the Meyer's Guys! The 23rd is the date you were wondering about in September.
ReplyDeleteThe Chargers are back in the saddle.
ReplyDeleteIn 1995 when Steven was 5 months old the Chargers went to the Super Bowl for the first and only time.
It was exciting, the whole town was so into it, banners everywhere, everyone decorated their cars.
Hubby and I were watching the last playoff game in a bar with baby Steven in an infant seat (just goes to show what kind of parents we are).
My sister got a pink lightning bolt tatooed on her butt that year.
Good memories.
Kenny looks so much like Dave it's eerie.
Hope you are well. Healing is a journey, not a destination.
Peace.
Rock on Meyer boys!! Stacy and I were just going over sweet memories of Fall football in Walla Walla and how many of our fondest memories are tied to it. Some are more fond for me than her like the time I had to drive 90+ mph to get back from Kennewick for Christian's birth...Dave and I always laughed about how he tried to talk me out of going to the game, but like the "old pro father" I said, "nah, she's not having a baby tonight"..ahh the folly of youth - good thing I made it back in time!!!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope to get up there for a few games, just waiting for God to sell the house! Tell Kenny we said, "GO 'HAWKS!" :o)
Love you guys!
