Kurtis is HOME!

Kurtis is Nephew number 3 out of 4.

Last year he graduated from high school and was accepted into the Naval Nuke Program. He just completed the first six months of schooling and came home to see us.

 

Aiden has not stopped talking to him since he got home.

Listening to Aiden talk to him is painful: “Kurt, Kurt, KurTISS! Wanna see my Sword, my bed, the hole where my tooth was, my shoes, my toothbrush. Kurtis! Kurt, Wanna run, jump and play ball, this is my dog, she is a girl, remember when Sadie was a baby? I’m not a baby.. .” IT DOESN’T STOP.

Emily had cycled thru every dress she owns in order to assure Kurtis that she still is indeed the FANCY DRESSER he remembers.

They love him. We love him.

He leaves in a week and it will be awhile before he comes home again.

It’s kind of scary with him having his own life and being all far away. He may look like this big strong man, but he’s still a little boy who climbs the tallest trees just to scare the crap out of me.
