This is my favorite photo from the holidays; wouldn't it make an ideal Christmas card? Note the big smiles in this photo, as well as Uncle Scott ready standing by with burp cloth in hand.
The first stop on our Christmas tour of the Southeast was Pensacola, where Ben met his Aunt Anne and Uncle Scott. They all seemed to love each other.
During our week of traveling, Ben experienced the following:
- His first plane ride: Ben was perfectly content throughout all ticketing lines, TSA checkpoints, flights, delays, and various bureaucratic nightmares. He rarely cried or barfed and thoughtfully pooped his pants before we would board a plane to make diaper changing easier. Thanks, Son!
- Meeting Aunt Anne, Uncle Scott, Great Grandma Ruth, and several of Watoosa's high school friends in Pensacola: Each new person got a smile. (He's much more outgoing than his parents are!)
- Meeting Jackamo's family on our drive north: We all wished we could have stayed longer, and seeing Jackie for such a brief time made me miss her in a very heartsick way as soon as we left.
- Meeting Great Granny and Grandaddy in Tennessee, as well as Ickie's aunts, uncles, and cousins: Ben has officially replaced Ickie as "The Big Man." (That's okay, as there will always be only one Dr. Cwisco.)
- Ben rolled all the way over from his back to his tummy at the farm! Notorious cheater-at-cards Great Granny helped him cheat a few times.
