Wonderful “Duty”


Kay Lynne and I are in the big city for much of today. Our “duty”? Taking care of our almost-five-month-old grandson Nathan while mom Jamie and dad Doug have concurrent work demands. Grandma and grandpa just hate it when that happens. :-)

Plus, I needed a good excuse to get this picture of the little guy on the blog. It was taken a couple of weeks ago just before mom took him out for a walk. Is he a cute little guy, or what?

Looks like Nathan is going to be a morning person, joining his cousin Aubrey and his mom as the only ones of 10 in our immediate family who enjoy watching the sun come up. Except on fishing days, of course.

After mom and dad had gone, Nathan very animatedly told us story after funny story, and then laughed at his own humor. He’s an absolute kick, and we’re very much enjoying our “assignment.” Right now he’s sound asleep on grandma’s lap. He’s growing like a weed and is a happy, engaging baby.

Our dog Buddy, on the other hand, is relaxing at home, but he’s a little miffed that he didn’t get to come along this time. He’ll be fine.
