Larainy Days: A Present

A Present

This is my middle child. His name is Max and as you can see by looking at his fists, he was raised on marshmallows. He didn't grow into a cowboy, but into a fine musician who is writing beautiful music.

His song Cars Break Down is my Christmas gift to you.

Nice song, he sounds great and clearly we've got some deep meaning going on.

Thanks for sharing.; December 24, 2010 at 9:54 AM
Amanda- Hip House Girl said...: Gosh Laraine, your family seems almost as awesome as mine! (Hehe.) Really though, that was beautiful and thank you so much for sharing. I'm impressed. (And your boys obviously have good musical taste if they like Sufjan- are you converted yet?)

Merry Christmas!; December 24, 2010 at 2:20 PM

Sandra said...: So relieved to see that a diet of marshmallows or even white sugar does not alter facial features. Your son is gorgeous and has clearly not suffered any ill effects from his childhood nutritional habits.; December 26, 2010 at 11:01 PM
