Lindsey cradles a content Brianna.
Brantley says, "Brianna, I can do that, too."
This is the best part of the tour of Stephen and Amanda's house.
"Look, everybody! Claire's not crying!"
"What'd you say your name was again? I like the way you hold me."
"Yes, we can share Claire. . . if we have to."
Great-aunt Caryn has waited patiently for her turn. Great-aunt sounds "old" but Caryn's my "little sister."
"If you paid me enough I'd give up teaching first grade to hold her all day."
Great-uncle Steve knows every trick in the book to make or keep a baby happy."If you don't like this view. . ."
". . . maybe this one is better!"
After our entourage of 12 "took over" Golden Corral Friday night, we did "home visits" Saturday, then reconvened at Dugan's in Pinehurst, where we "took over" again.

An after-dinner stroll through the historic village was relaxing for the babies and grown-ups alike (yes, Brantley and Lindsey are grown-ups, too).
10 of us made it into the picture. Steve snapped the picture, and Stephen was keeping an eye on our vehicles-- from a convenient rocking chair.
We gathered one more time back at our house and Great-grandparents Jack and Thelma stopped by to get in on the fun and to see the Georgia folks. Last visits up here had been for Jennifer and Amanda's weddings, which seem oh, so long ago.
Stephen shows that Baby Brianna is developing some muscle and expanding her repertoire of stunts. Soon she'll be showing off for cousin Claire. "Can you do this?"
After all the passing around and fruit basket turnover, somehow the right babies end up back with the right mothers. Amanda and Jennifer are generous in sharing these precious girls, but enough is enough! "COME TO MOMMIE!"
It may be as long as Christmas before all of us are together again, but last weekend's memories are sweet enough to keep us charged up for a while. Now to get ready for a fall visit from Uncle Buddy and Grandpa Loyd! Can't happen soon enough!
