Blake is my little Mr. Random. I know I'll regret it if I don't get a couple of my favorite random Blake moments down in writing, so please bear with me.
One night last week, I was reprimanding Blake for fighting with a kid who was playing at our house. He was telling me how the other kid had started it, and suddenly, he stopped mid-sentence, got this weird grin on his face and said, "I think I just burped up a little meatloaf." Wow. This is where most of you are saying, "Blake ate meatloaf?!" The answer is not really...he ate his obligatory one bite.
When we told the kids we were pregnant with Max, we were on our way to Erin's house. I'd told her and she'd told her boys, so I figured I'd better tell our kids. So, Sydney's response is: "I hope it's a girl." Blake's is "Hey, look, there's a Shell." Are you kidding me? (Another funky fact about Blake is that he's obsessed with gas stations.)
I know there are more...lots more. But for some reason, now that I'd like to remember them, I can't. I just love his sense of humor. It's part of what makes him so charming and genuinely fun to be around.
Thank you, Jesus, that I not only love my son, but I also really LIKE him (most of the time:).

I laughed out loud at the Shell comment. What?! Hollyn uses randomness to get out of being in trouble. Like the time that I was getting on to her for getting in trouble at school and she told me she doesn't know what the word love means?! I said, "Have you lost your mind?" Her response, "Yes, I think it's inside my head somewhere." Kids.
He is such a funny kid. Burping up meatloaf - only a boy could think that was a noteworthy event:)
Oh my! We have GOT to get our "random" boys together- SOON! I just think they would have great fun together.
And I LOVE the video of Max- he's getting so big! I can hardly believe he is almost 1- craziness.
Give them all a kiss for me. I miss 'em. A lot.
