Mom and Dad look for him in the crowd.
Dan,
I know you will continue to crack me up…and be the silliest boy ever!

Enjoy this next stage in life….as you leave your home and go off to college.

Nice blog. Good to see things that I actually know the names of. Glad to see all the fun times with the Smoots. Oh and yes...it does hurt to grow that fast. I remember a very nice and patient mother rubbing my legs with rubbing alcohol late at night when I would wake up in pain.
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn! Gee do I remember those days, and you know it, they go by so fast! I always say I wish I could make my kids young again and bring them back!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Dan!!

thanks..
That was so nice. As I was reading it, I realized - at the moment I felt it - that I felt a "feeling" coming on, one I knew wasn't going to be as simple as the smile I had knowing how very special your nephew is to you and all his family... it was going to be something that made me smile, laugh, think about time, where it goes, why so fast, and then wondering if I might cry - lol... and then.... remembering 10 yrs old!! What a great post! Congrats to your nephew! I know his parents and everyone who loves him are so proud!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice tribute to your nephews and Dan's graduation. Time does go by fast but you are lucky to be able to have spent a lot of fun times with them and have awesome memories. Adele is right about growing hurting.. Patrick also suffered with those same growing pains she spoke of.. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteI like the landscaping of your new low rent district parking spot. Congrats to Dan. I can see Jeff in Dan. How is Jeff doing. My siss got bite by a tick last summer and has been having problems ever since. She currently just git off another 8 weeks of antibiotics. Diane
