  • [snuffle]  We had to say Dasvadanya to Alex tonight.  He'll return in July, however, so that's good. 

    Is he the bestest uncle or what?  Not only does he give "airplane" rides . . .


    . . .  but he took Kirstin and her kids to the Joint Reserve Base
    (used to be Carswell, back in a more civilized age) so Benjamin in
    particular could get up close and personal with the airplanes. 
    Benjamin loves all forms of transportation . . . boats, cars, trucks,
    trains, airplanes, you name it.  Apparently he loved seeing the
    nifty fighter planes, and when they were driving away to come home,
    some pilot (probably a Weekend Warrior type) was stunt-flying, flying
    straight up, then twisting down, etc.  They pulled over into a
    parking lot to watch the "show."   Pretty slick outing, eh?

    While they were here, Bethany coaxed her mother into playing Memory:

    Naturally my Bryson Bunny was here, too!

    This evening Alex and Beth were over before he heads back to Tennessee
    in the wee hours of Thursday morning.  They're going to be living
    in an apartment in base housing, and there's some meeting Alex needs to
    be at early Thursday afternoon.  Beth is staying on in the area,
    though, for Alex is going on a short tour the first of June.

    Babies get no respect, poor li'l critters . . . they get passed around like a sack o' potatoes.  ;^)
