The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
John Keats (1795-1821)
“I wasn't yawning, I was just letting some fresh air into my mouth.” (After being accused of being tired.)
Emily McClelland (1998- )
I hope they get here soon. The kids are biting at the chomp.
Lisa McClelland, Christmas 2008
'Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.'
George Burns (1896-1996)
Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.
– Joseph Addison (1672-1719) British Essayist, Poet, Statesman
Steve, I literally was laughing out loud at this! I made my husband and son come in to read it because it’s just so funny! Then I showed Kevin the pictures from the pumpkin patch and your funny Discovery Kingdom cards and Kevin said “I want to be in their family!”
Cheryl, glad you like the post. Sorry I never finished it. I tend to not post the photos of late-night homework sessions or dinner table arguments. Nevertheless, tell Kevin he can be an honorary McClelland Family member whenever he likes. I have two kids I wouldn’t mind swapping out from time to time.
