Quote of the Day, part XLIV

Me, during Family Home Evening: "How can we repent of 'persecuting your brother'?"
William: "Pick me! I just barely did it!"

Jacob, when I showed him the twin coverlet I had purchased for his bed right before we moved:
"I like that. Whoa, wait! Are we really going to get beds that big?"
Me, thinking that this boy has been sleeping on a camping cot on the floor for entirely too long.
This move didn't come a day too early!

1982

July 1982.  Oh, what a cute little family...all except that chubby, stumpish little thing on the right.  What happened to it?  I love this picture!  I have fond memories of this period of my life living on Brown Deer and sneaking guinea pigs into bed with me at night.  Okay, back to slavery in the 1600s...

This picture brings back so many memories. Oh how much fun it was to go to the Mikkelsens, play in the barn, climb the big trees with the waxy leaves, and eat around the big table.

You never told me your dad is Matthew McConaughey!

You are not the first person to say that, Julie. He was and is very handsome, if I do say so myself! I've always thought my parents were beautiful people--inside and out.

Excuse me, but aren't we missing someone here? Born June 1982? Still, it is a really great picture.

Great picture! I can't believe how much Kathryn looks like her mommy!

Liz, Mom must have been prego with you in this one because the photo was taken in 1982 I'm pretty sure. I'm sure they wouldn't have left you out--you were the cutest one they'd had to date (maybe the cutest of all, except for Pietr!)

I knew that cute little family in 1982. 'Tis a pleasure to peek in and see how they are all taking care of growing up. Sorry about the slavery!
