One of the things that could make marrying into a big family difficult, is having everyone accept you. Luckily, Kyle has won over every single sibling I have! The boys have an especially close bond with him. Landon doesn't have an older brother, so he loves when Kyle comes over and goes possum hunting with him, or when they watch RC car youtube videos with each other.
Somehow watching those videos with his older sisters just isn't the same...
More than anything, I love watching him interact with Jonah. There are lots of guys who shy away from the idea of having kids, and aren't really sure how to handle them. Not Kyle! From the first time he came over, he jumped right in. Now, they adore him. Jonah gets so excited when he sees Kyle's truck pull into the driveway. He yells, "KYOL! KYOL UCK!" and jumps around like a maniac.
Jonah isn't the most easy-going child... He is often extremely stubborn and whiney. Kyle is one of few people that can get him to listen and obey.
The other day, we went to the lake to hang out and celebrate having a small break from school. Kyle was flying with my dad and Landon, so he couldn't make it. Somehow, we still managed to have fun. ;)
Jackson made a little boat out of driftwood with Ally's friend, Drew. It made me smile when I heard what he named it; Kyle Bliss. Isn't that cute?!
You can read more about our trip to the lake in Emma's family blog: A Day at the Lake.
The reason behind this blog, is that I want to point out how important family is in choosing a life partner. If my family hadn't gotten a good feeling, or the little kids didn't like him, the relationship would never have worked out.
Knowing that my family loves him almost as much as I do gives me so much security for our future! What's even cooler, is the fact that Jonah, Jenna, and maybe even Jackson, won't remember not having Kyle around. To them, he will have always been a part of their lives!
