Richard, Julia and My little Mermaid

Richard, Julia and My little Mermaid, originally uploaded by Michelle.Dan.

Kelly has been part of our family since her and Casey met in the 8th grade and started to cause ALL SORTS of TROUBLE.

Her parents Deb and Richard have a camp on a lake where you can fish, canoe and swim.

Aiden loves all three of those things with a passion.

He wants to make Richard his BFF.

Richard is a laid back sort of guy, he's kinda quiet and makes suggestions rather than demands. He fought in Vietnam and was recently awarded the purple heart. He answers Aiden's questions and took him on a canoe ride.

And Aiden will talk his ever loving EAR off if given the chance. He tells Richard about worms, and fishing and GOD knows what else he said on that canoe ride when he had Richard ALL to himself.

I love my son to the moon and back. He is the most handsome and funny dorky baby big kid boy in the world. And I find him endlessly amusing. But I'm his mom. I'm smart enough to know that the "outside" world my not find him so captivating.

So, Thank you Richard.
You have the patience of a saint.
And you made him very happy.
