David with DJ and Princess Lily
My older brother David lives in Colorado, as well. His pride and joy are his two grandchildren, DJ (Donovan, Jr.) and Lily, usually referred to as Princess Lily. We had so much fun with them when we were in Colorado last summer. DJ is so smart and loved to hang out with us.
Lily loves anything pink or anything with Disney Princesses on it (hence, her nickname). We went to Cold Stone Creamery one night. I asked Lily what kind of ice cream she was going to get. She said, "Uh, PINK!" Of course. I should have known!
David and his wife Nancy have three Rotweiller dogs that are spoiled rotten. They are like children to David and Nancy. In fact, David refers to his dog Spawn as DJ's Uncle Spawn. He has DJ convinced that Spawn is truly his dad's brother. It was pretty funny to listen to them.
In fact, the girls were highly amused by just about everything their Uncle David said. His wife Nancy is affectionately referred to as "The Redhead." My girls found that hysterically funny for some reason. The dogs failed to bark when we came home from Uncle Devon's late one night. The next morning David chastized them, telling them they were a "sorry excuse for guard dogs." It was like they knew what they had done wrong because after that they barked any time we entered a room. David called Megan "chickie" the whole time we were there. One day Heather shared a story with Uncle David. Instead of saying, "Wow, that's pretty neat," David said, "Well, son of a gun!" Heather laughed for months over that phrase. And Emily is convinced that Uncle David is a worse tease than their grandfather....and that takes some doing!
