I have this frame hanging in our computer room.  Its one of those collage frames and it has the word "family" in wooden letters encased in the glass.  The first pictures I put in were just of Jim, me, and the boys.  The more I thought about it, I decided that this would be a good frame to put some pictures of my mom and dad in too.  My boys never met my dad.  He passed away in 1995 a few months before Jim and I got married.  They know who he is, we talk about him a lot and they call him granddaddy Bob.  I searched everywhere for a good picture of me and my dad to add to this frame.  Neither my mom or dad were fans of getting their pictures made.  I found one of my dad and me right before I graduated college.
I was so excited to show the boys the new pictures.  I called them in and Jim came with them.  The boys looked the pictures over and were excited to see ones of them with Nana (my mom).  I pointed out the picture of me and my dad.  Jim looked at it and said...
Now before I tell you what he said I just want you to know that he is a wonderful man!!  A godly husband and father and would never purposely say anything to hurt anyone's feelings. :)
He looked at the picture and said... "Look boys, its skinny mommy."
(GASP!)
