We had a blast at the Parlin Reunion in Gulf Shores this past week. It was wonderful getting to catch up with all that has been going on with all of the Parlin's. In all, a little under 50 were in attendance. We stayed in a 12 bedroom house right on the beach. Dane lived it up playing with all his cousins! A stomach virus went through about 10 of our family members while we were there. Brad and Dane were two of the unlucky ones to get the virus. They both handled it like champs. I am sad that we did not get a chance to have our picture on the beach in our awesome reunion shirts as everyone else did. We will just have to do them now that we are back. Dane had his two favorite things: water and balls!! What a fun time of cathching up and relaxation (kinda) on the beach!! Dane loved looking for "bish" in the water and splashing constantly. He is absolutely so busy all the time and it is interesting to see him learning 24/7. Shells were something he collected while we were at the beach and he also saw his first of many jellyfish. Uncle Scott won the "best dad" award because he captured a live jellyfish before Brad did, so he said he won....you know the Parlin's...everything is a contest, and I mean EVERYTHING!!

I was so looking forward to spending a week with you and it was beyond my imagination! You were so intrigued by every ball that passed your way and the "BIG PASH" (waves) in the "OTTER" (WATER)....My favorite memory this past week was when you had one foot sunken in the sand and you used your other foot to turn your body around, singing "Attis, attis, attis, attis, dow!" for "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down" - your sandfilled little bottom would plop onto the sand and you repeated this about 92 times and it was cute EVERY TIME...I loved holding a conversation with you.. What did you eat for breakfast? "TOAT" Where is your juice? "GON GON" What do you do in the water? "PASH"
I can't explain my unconditional love for you, even as your aunt! You are such a bundle of joy and I don't even remember what life was like without you! OH BOY - I can't fathom a mother's love for her child if my love for you is so strong!
Aunt Book and Teek! :)
