KERI, BAYLOR AND BRODY

This week I got to speak with my wonderful friend Keri. Anyone who knows me has heard me talk and talk and talk and talk about my friend Keri and her 2 beautiful, insane boys Baylor and Brody. I miss them a ton and hate not being within an hour of their house. I have had so many great memories with those 3; I just think about them all the time.

I have known Keri since highschool and she had just met this boy Lonnie, they started dating and wham, boom, pow they got married and had babies. :) That's the really short version but you don't need the details. I was so excited to meet the first baby. I knew I wanted to be a part of his life when he was born. Baylor was born when I was away at college and when I would come home for breaks I always ventured up to Lisbon to visit. I remember the first time I heard him laugh, I think he was laughing at my laugh but we just went back and forth laughing at eachother on the living room floor. I remember going to the pool with them and playing with tuberware and imitating the choo choo as it went by every 5 mins. I remember when I was babysitting him with his gma Kris Kris and we read the BUGGIE book. Baylor was very enthusiastic about the BUGGIE and when we tried to get him to say BERKLEY he would just yell BUGGIE. I took what I could get :) He then was able to say Berkie and thats who I stayed. I love that name. Especially now that Brody is in the picture and calls me that too. I haven't been able to get as close to Brody as I would have liked but I still love to visit him and hear his laugh and get hugs and kisses from him.

Those boys teach me so much about the joys of life, how to play bubble baseball, how to catch rollie pollies and more than I ever wanted to know about Dinosaurs. There so creative and smart and I miss just being with them watching a show about tractors or playing in the park.

I can't wait to see them again, I know they are growing into such great young men, and with a mother like Keri they are going to be the most creative, polite, considerate, God fearing gentleman the world has seen.
