everyone say hello to dashiel oliver
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!
Congratulations to the three, now four, of you.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree that a hoarder of stuff is better than a hoarder of garbage. I think they call the good kind of hoarders "collectors"
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 :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I am so happy for you both!

Such a handsome little fella! Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteWelcome Dashiel--can you please blog about how you chose the name? I know it is none of my business but if I was there visiting with KK, this is a question I would ask--anyhoo, hoping to see ya'll again this year!

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.
ReplyDeleteAlso, please please PLEASE tell me you named your son Dashiel after Dash from The Incredibles.
Pretty please? It's okay to lie.
Congratulations to you all - a very worthy addition!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you, i am glad everyone seems healthy. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh happy belated new baby, birthday Dash! Krista, Finn and Bryan- I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteOK, this one got me crying too. Seriously, I'm a mess. I love how Bryan describes you. Welcome to the planet, Dash! You're a lucky, lucky baby.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Congrats! I love his name.
