Week Seven - Vacation

We've really been enjoying our time at home with Deacon this week. We had lots of friends over to visit with us and Deacon - and play Mario Kart on the Wii (Amy & Silas, we need to play online!).

According to our bathroom scale, Deacon now weighs about 13 pounds or so. He's a good eater - so good in fact that Mom has given him nicknames such as Cheeks McGee & Pork Chop (which she sings out, "Pooork Choop!") - neither of which will stick, but humor us for the time.

One other announcement. Our friends Amy and Byron Alday just told us they are 3 and a half months pregnant! Congratulations Aldays! And this is a warning to the rest of you: If you're coming to visit Asheville, be sure to get a vaccination for baby fever before you do.


Other than that, not much else is happening - which is exactly what we planned for. Hope everyone is doing wonderfully!

PS. Do you know that monkeys can hang on a clothesline in the wind?
