Trip to NC

With family in North Carolina, I make pilgrimages to the area on a fairly regular basis.  Spring was in the area (and in the flowers) when I went last week.  It was a nice time to be down there even with trees pollinating like fury.

One of the newer babies in the family is my mother's first great-great grandchild.  Bentley is a little less than a year old and is much loved.  Here he was caught napping with Grandpa R.C. It may look a little precarious, but at the slightest twitch of the baby, Grandpa's eyes were wide open.  He was "just resting his eyes a little".

Bentley is a live wire when he is awake and very interested in the world around him.  Here he is with his mother, Megan, and his father, Brandon.

And let's not forget Grandmother Nancy.

He'll have a bit of competition now because Cousin Chase from Wisconsin arrived today. Chase is almost three, so he may not even be interested in a baby. We'll see.

It will be interesting to see how the dynamic has changed when I go back down there in a few weeks.  Meanwhile, it's nice to see a bit of spring here.
