Memory for Today - Orion

The kids were in the van the other day and a funny thing happened. We were driving back at night from some place (I can't remember where). The kids were looking out the window and one of them spotted the constellation Orion. It is my favorite one and the boy's too as it is a soldier with a sword. They look for it every night. This night they were commenting on it and Sam said in all seriousness "No, I don't see Uncle Ryan." It took us all a minute to realize what he was saying and then the whole car busted out in laughter. He really thought we had said Uncle Ryan. I think that is going to be Uncle Ryan's new nickname. For those NC people, Ryan is Carl's youngest brother. The kids think he is way cool becuase he is single and also a soldier. He loves to play with the kids and they love him. So Ryan, if you hear one of the kids call you Orion, you will know why.
