Are you smiling yet? Just a bit? I am, because my photo albums turn up gem after gem just like these from the man of dozens of funny voices and a hundred funny faces. Ryan has no shame before a camera; selfies like the ones above will appear, unadvertised and unannounced, on phones and cameras left unattended. On any given day, Lee is liable to say, in her most threatening voice, “HON--EY!” when her husband refuses to be serious or takes a gag a step too far…
...or laugh, stating, “That’s why I married you….”
Laughter expands at an increasing rate. Good humor smooths the grind of hard work….kinda like a cold beer at the end of the day.
Comedy loves company. And the camera is happy to record. Every funny face, every antic, every delighted grin by kids of every age….
But if Ryan is the Big Kahuna of Humor in the family, Josh is a close second at six going on seven. More than happy to dress funny, not dress at all, to ham it up for the camera...or apparently just for practice… one never knows who will mug for the camera: sweet huggable little boy Josh...or wild woolly rubber lipped sight gagging show-off steal-the-show Josh.
Holy Scripture spells it out in the book of Proverbs, King James version, like this:
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”
George Bernard Shaw condenses all these pictures into these few words:
Thanks be for the merry hearts that make our happy family more heavenly….
