Pappy Peek-a-boo

Pappy Peek-a-boo, originally uploaded by bburbank.

I knew that I wanted to have a boy someday to carry on the Burbank name. I knew that was important to your Dad and to your “Pappy,” too. I know that desire because I have that same wish for your Uncle Adam: that he will have a boy someday to carry on the Randolph name. Both your Dad and your Uncle Adam are the last in their respective family lines.

I love this picture with all three Burbank men together and enjoying each other’s company. We went out to your Dad’s old high school to watch the Deltona High Wolves play football. It made me feel like I’d accomplished something special by helping to extend the Burbank family and I can see the pride in their eyes when they see you and that makes me proud, too. I hope you three continue to have fun together. I hope you inherit their calm, level-headed, patient demeanor, their kindness and loyalty, their strong work ethic and their enjoyment in the little things life has to offer. Those are the qualities I love most in them.
