Big Kai

Kimberly’s childhood friend Lisa and her husband Jeff just had a baby boy.  Well I shouldn’t say just……the kid is almost walking and talking, so he’s not quite a new born.  Another reminder that time flies faster every day.  I should have started off by saying, in my time reference Jeff and Lisa just had a baby, but in real time it was a year and a half ago.  Moving on- the point is that I got together with them the other day to do some family photos and capture a day in young Kai’s life for memory’s sake before I wake up tomorrow and he’s driving a car and moving away to college.

It’s pretty interesting watching kids do what they do.  He’s actually a really mellow little guy and does plenty of smiling, laughing and clapping.  But when it came time to play on the rocks he wasn’t to happy about getting his little hands dirty.  Lisa told me, “oh ya, he doesn’t like dirty stuff or getting his hands dirty”.  Ha ha, ok that’s good I guess.  I think most little boys spend a majority of the day picking up rocks from the ground and sampling them on their young palette’s for as long as they can before Mom comes running over to say yuckie!!  It was fun watching the young family do their thing and I happily accepted many words of wisdom from them both.  My favorite was make sure you go on a good vacation once more before you make the plunge.  Got it, firmly burned into my notes to self file.

Congrats Jeff and Lisa you guys are a beautiful family!
