Connor is one of our preschool students and Byson's mom lived with his family briefly before he was born. Connor has two brothers one is only 8 months older than Byson. Whenever he sees Byson he always says "Baby Byson is sooo cute", then he quickly adds and so is baby Benjamin.
We have to admit having one grandson in the area is so much fun. Byson is getting to know Grandpa especially when he tries to touch his plants around the fireplace. One day he was reaching for the dvd's on the TV stand when Grandpa said "NO Byson" he took one look at Grandpa and melted into a puddle of tears, but since his mom has been working with him to not touch some things he stopped and turned around and went the other way.
It has been years since we have had babies in the house. Byson and Perry IV found a stash of toys that Grandma found for them to play with. They had so much fun communicating with each other and taking toys from each other too.
The same day Thomas left for London, Benjamin and Aunt Yvonne left for Texas. Kaitlyn, Megan, and Abigail were there to see them off.
It was a bright sunny day when Benjamin got ready to leave for Texas. It has continued to be bright sunny days and it has only rained brief showers in the afternoon for about 2 weeks this whole summer. We have been in drought conditions for over a month now.
The sweet teachers at our Preschools recently surprised us by having one of my dad's first dollies he crocheted mounted and framed. We first had it done in Ohio but with our many moves the glass broke. They found out it still needed framing so they did this as a Thank You for the past school year. We are so blest to have such a good and caring staff of teachers.
Now doesn't this look natural? It would be so nice if Benjamin would make the switch and move to Nashville. It was great having most of the family here for Thomas' graduation this past May.
I can't believe it has been a year this little prince came into the world. Happy Birthday sweetie. He will be like his grandpa and be a talker. Last Thursday was his birthday.
On the very last day of vacation, Perry III had the privilege of getting the virus that plagued the little ones during most of their vacation. Believe me I know how he felt, I was down with it on the second day of vacation.
Thomas was so glad to be home after 14 days in England and Scotland. We told him we were taking him to breakfast. When asked where he would like to go to eat his reply was: "anywhere they serve American food".
