Looking at these pictures made me want ...Amy, Matt. Looking at these pictures made me want to cry. I think I have PMS. One of the reasons I felt so emotional is the fact that I am intricately connected to the Smith family for the rest of my life! I thank you for that, Mister Matt B. Well, and Amy. Glad you kids liked each other so much. I'll never forget Matt in the kitchen at Roosevelt Street with me, I must have been about 25-26, and going over EVERY single detail about knowing Amy since the first time you saw her. I remember telling you something like if you want anything enough, you can have it. And yet I was scared, hoping Amy liked you back too. But the things you told me seemed like uncanny destiny. Like her spotting you in Seminary, maybe sending a note or something? Anyhoo, it's totally out of a novel, the way the spotlight just fell on Amy for you all your teenagehood, Matty. And now, i get to see Rowan grow up, and know Dana and Jenny and see Rustin's kids, and obviously, have the joy of seeing my own nephews and nieces look like Smith-Beattys. Both such strong traits.<BR/>I love it. And now I get to be Aunt Addie (I hope) to hundreds of other kids....as I hope to someday attend some Smith events too. I just hope we get to live near you in the future, and Jenny, and Rustin. <BR/><BR/>I loved going to the Smith house when I was a teenager. So many beauties, all in one household. And I loved tricking Rustin and friends on a 4th of July camping trip once.....the memories.<BR/><BR/>I am so lucky to be a part.AdieSpringBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205931755209226695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850925522681981943.post-20732792862123257382008-10-08T06:53:00.000-07:002008-10-08T06:53:00.000-07:00What a glorious tradition, you guys rock my mind e...What a glorious tradition, you guys rock my mind every time I read about one of your adventures. I love seeing all the pictures and keeping up with my precious little family by the internet. I feel closer to you that way and a part of your lives! You always are on the go and doing wonderful, fabulous trips, outing, hikes, climbs, etc. You are the bestest parents and family in the world, I love you all so much, NanaSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00686776476327957773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850925522681981943.post-89142388581372911912008-10-07T21:41:00.000-07:002008-10-07T21:41:00.000-07:00you guys were o close, yet so far away from us! Wa...you guys were o close, yet so far away from us! Walla Walla is like 4passes over, about a 6 hour drive or so. That side of WA has alot of universitys and all of them are very old and well maintained. <BR/><BR/>And for some reason, I'm not too shocked that the little rooster got taken out by Rustin. Some of those little critters are so mean!Heidi Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857198262114321130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850925522681981943.post-26785898694630509542008-10-07T15:35:00.000-07:002008-10-07T15:35:00.000-07:00What a great family tradition!
