hi blogosphere,

  this is bryan, krista's 'significant other'. she's been pretty busy the last few days and asked me to write a little something to keep everyone updated on the happenings in our cozy little family unit but i'm a terrible, slow writer (this is already the third iteration of this cop out) so instead i'm just going to introduce the star of the show...









everyone say hello to dashiel oliver

ok dash. you are officially real now that you're on the internet.
 a few words of wisdom.
 anything you do or say on the internet will always be on the internet, so make what you do or say on the internet something you wouldn't mind your mom or mimi or poppy seeing.
 your sister is super friggin awesome and she's going to love you like 'whoa' but don't forget, she's a princess and she will tell you this repeatedly. while drawing on you with a purple marker
 your brother nathan (not nate) is a bit older than you and you couldn't possibly ask for a greater older brother. he's smart and funny and goofy and talented and nice. all things you should aspire to be
 your mom, okay, your mom. one thing, just be honest. tell her and show her and love her and listen to her and understand if you ever need to bury a body at 3 a.m. just call her up, she'll always have your back
 me, your pops, i'm easy, just watch football with me and let me sleep in sometimes and i'll drive the van while we go to bury that body of that sumbitch that surely deserved it.

we love you of course and we always will, even if you do end up on hoarders. but don't okay. or atleast be a hoarder that hoardes stuff and not garbage...actually...yeah, no. okay, i love you

go bucs!

  1. Congratulations to the three, now four, of you.

    Yes I agree that a hoarder of stuff is better than a hoarder of garbage. I think they call the good kind of hoarders "collectors"

  2. Brayn, AWESOME post. I almost said "Lovely", which it was, but might seem insulting somehow. Congratulations to you and Krista. Love the picture of Finn trying to lick the new sister. Classic! So much more of THAT to come. And, you know....Krista...well, I'd call her if I had a body to deal with. And now that I know you drive a get-a-way car...um...I'm a bit inspired :)

    Seriously, I am so happy for you both!

  8. This is a ridiculously awesome post, and it's not fair, Bryan, that you're just as amazing a writer as Krista because only one should be allowed per household.

    Also, please please PLEASE tell me you named your son Dashiel after Dash from The Incredibles.

    Pretty please? It's okay to lie.
