Alice has been cuddled and loved and fussed over by so many people who love her dearly, and that is what makes this bearable. That we can be here, seeing all the cousins - sharing this with my parents. And that part has been just priceless.
Let me just add, by the way, that while we are surrounded by so many people who are willing to help with Alice, what I didn't count on was Alice's desire to maintain her exclusivity contract with yours truly. Here I thought (ha ha - silly mother) that she'd be happy to hang out with a cousin or an aunt or an uncle or two. And she is... to a point. But when it comes down to it, she's a one bodyservant type of girl. And you know who I've signed on with. So, dear Internets. I'm off to do Bean's bidding.
Manservant out.
Listen. You can unleash the wrath on my mother. But apparently this is what Grammies do-- they initiate their grandchildren into the age old tradition of drinking out of cups. When they are 4 1/2 months old. And when their mother is inside the house making up a bottle. My mom insists that Alice has been imbibing in red cup drinking on the side for weeks now because she's far too adept at it to be a first timer. (Should I really freak you out and tell you she's drinking Diet Coke? AHHH no. They promised me that it was water.)

First of all, I'm so glad you guys are there with everyone!! I can't believe the amount of cousins! I mean, I knew about them all, but seeing everyone together is awesome! Your parents must be in grandchild-heaven!!
Second, can you please take a picture of the 3 generations of Boyds?! Dad, Steve, Alice. HA! I LOVE IT!
Third, I'm expecting a delivery to my door of cookies, bread, cinnamon rolls and Texas Sheet Cake. Thanks.
I thought that living at home as a emeritus bachelor would be a relaxing thing... I find it hard being without my ladies. I love my Whimsy, and I love my Bean. Please come home, the cats are chewing the up.
