Thursday the 4th. My sister stopped by the house this morning with baby
Seth. Amy said that he looked so much
happier than he did the last time we saw him (we think he looks like his uncle
Delane). She even got to give him a bottle, that's probably the first
bottle Amy's been able to give a baby since Jackson (Ben only had one and I gave
that one to him). Seth's big brother Caleb spent
the day in Mayberry playing with our boys.
While Amy worked last night, I took the boys to visit their
great-grandmother in
Virginia and to raid
her garden. We came home with an
extra supply of
cucumbers because Ben kept picking them while yelling "Pickles!!". I only
ended up with four ears of corn and three green beans (I gave Jackson the job of
picking the beans), but, like, fifteen cucumbers. While we were in the
garden, my dad came out of the hayfields and gave Ben the piggy
back ride in the photo. We also stopped by Hama's to give her
this photo sent to me by her nephew and my second cousin,
Austin, who is currently on tour in Korea. Austin stumbled onto our website
yesterday by accident and, very coincidentally, found a photo of his Aunt Hava
on the homepage. I've said it many times before, like when Nana Sue got to
watch the boys open their Santa Claus presents from two hundred miles away via
the web cam or when I was able to post photos of Ben for the world to see right
from the delivery room (where the doctor's spent as much time asking me about
the little antenna attached to my laptop as they did talking about the labor) or
when I had to settle an argument over who opened for Bon Jovi in Greensboro, NC
in 1987 (Cinderella, thanks Google), the Internet is a very cool thing.
