We had one simple assignment from Logan’s school lately. They want us to pick out one baby picture and one picture from either Kindergarten or First Grade. Sounds simple right? Well if you are picking photographs of some other person’ kids, maybe, but our kid (or your kid) I don’t think it is possible. \u00a0All sorts of things start happening when you start looking at old pics, especially if a little wine is around. You start laughing and almost crying almost at the same time. But in our effort to pick out two photos we are about half done, maybe. Until we find another box of pics.<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a candidate. Logan has always loved books, even before he could read. He is still quite a reader.<\/p>\n

\"Logan<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is our probable candidate. He has always been a beach baby and swims like a fish.<\/p>\n

\"PICT0698\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is another favorite.<\/p>\n

\"Napping<\/a><\/p>\n

This is beyond baby stage but this is my almost all time favorite picture of Logan. Napping on the beach at Destin a long time ago. I’m kind of cheap but I’ll spring for the chairs and umbrellas from the beach service every now and then, just cuz. This is the one picture I’ve had of Logan in my office for over a dozen years. No matter how stressed I get, I can look at this and chill out. How do you like that thumb action.<\/p>\n

\"PICT0704\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Switching gears. This is Logan and his Boompa, Boompa was Logan’s best buddy. He is no longer with us but his memories remain. He was the world’s greatest father-in-law and we miss him.<\/p>\n

\"PICT0706\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And look at this. Here is me, actually getting married. And she still lets me hang around. Twenty six years!!<\/p>\n

\"PICT0699\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is me, in the pre Heather days. See, I told you I had hair. Not much hair but I had it, and about 40 less pounds. This was at my parents house in Albuquerque. There I was with keys in my hand impatient to get back to Houston. Why was I in such a hurry? What did I think I was going to miss?<\/p>\n

My advice to everybody, look at old photographs more often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
