What do you think...

We had an absolutely great Christmas this year. Doug, Danika and Quinn came here from New York as well as Randy and Margaret (Danika's folks) from North Carolina. The little guy is such a joy and certainly didn't disappoint us in the "smiles" category. Of course we got lots of pictures and thoroughly documented that wonderful morning. It was really funny watching him open his gifts -- sometimes the wrapping or the box got more attention than the contents. I seem to remember that with his daddy. He also liked playing with the manger, making the light (a.k.a star) come on while playing "Away in a manger..." several hundred times. He liked playing with the figures, and could say "Baby Jesus" by the time he left.

Oh, yeah, one other thing that was really neat, was this one picture that got snapped. Pam said it looked just like one of his dad when he was a baby. She hunted it down and found it in Doug's baby book. Quinn is 17 months, and Doug was 2 1/2 years old when this picture was taken. What do you think?
















Pretty remarkable, huh. I guess this is one of those "the acorn didn't fall too far from the tree" things. If that's the case in other things too, Little Quinn will do alright in life.

The definition of a grandfather -- a fellow who has replaced the currency in his wallet with snapshots of his kids and grandkids, and hasn't lost a thing.

Hooah
