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...
...keep on keepin' on
Wow! What handsome young men you have! Maybe a need to bring you my lil' stpping stoll i used when i had "mom" pictures with the kids. ha ha How do they get so tall? Everyone looks so wonderful. What a special evening.
ReplyDeleteLove you all, Val
Yikes.......maybe next time I need to preview my comments before posting them so I can do a little spell checking when it's so late at night. That should be "stepping stool"....
ReplyDeleteLove, Val
What great pictures, great memories. They look so handsome. Seems like forever since I had those days with the kids.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful they were. I miss the days when my eldest, Heather, and her friends would get all dressed up and out they went for the big dance. Morgan is so beautiful in her own way but different and not at all interested in the whole dance thing so I have to rely on those memories and the ones you have shared with us all tonight. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome looking group. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHaven't visited your sight in awhile. I came here today and read up. WOW, how you have inspired me. I sit here with a smile and tears at the same time. I read back about Daves two year passing. I am reminded how precious life is. The pictures of homecoming and football are great. You and the kids are certainly living life and enjoying it with all the it has to give to you. Your posts show this! Thanks for being awe inspiring to me. Kelli
ReplyDeletePretty dashing young men in the Meyer house! I know Dave is proud. Of course as a fellow sentamentalist, I would also say, wow...where has the time gone.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to say when I was a young man that she could see the "shadow of the 'someday' man" in my face, my eyes or my expressions as I sat between boyhood and the world of men. I see glimpses in Ryan now at 13 and certainly see more than a shadow or hint in the boys I once knew in your house.
There is a hint of sadness for the sentamentalist as you know Shell, but at the same time it brings a big smile to my face and I am excited to see these growing men take on the world.
Hope that wasn't too sappy, but it comes out once in awhile :o)
Love you guys!
Will, Stacy and the boys
My goodness, they are MEN !!! How handsome, sweet and fun. Looks like a great group too. Love homecoming, neither of my boys school had football so our homecomings were very lame. Missed that. Enjoy these times as hard as it is Chelle because they disappear all too quickly.
ReplyDeletelove u.
