This evening I was trying to snap some shots of the Hamiltot to share with family. He's in an extraordinarily good mood with lots of stretches and smiles without me holding him or singing silly things to him. Well, as I described in
my last post, my little camera is on the fritz. It froze up after one picture. Each time I ejected the battery to restart it, the same thing happened. I thought to myself, "Self, perhaps it saved one cutie shot of the little babe. Check the memory to see what there is to see." Much to my surprise there was not an image of the gleaming toothless smile of my firstborn, but a salad that Kyle and I made nearly two years ago in France. When I tried to copy it to my computer, it won't open normally. It mysteriously only appears when my memory card is in my camera. How silly. Since I can't capture magical moments from my little one's day, I'll have to share some things from this past weekend.
We drove up to North Carolina to visit the GrandHam homestead for the weekend. While there, Bennett got to meet two great grandmothers and a great aunt. He's almost met everyone (thankfully Aunt Kelly is coming home from Germany for Christmas!). Surprisingly it was a really restful weekend for me. With so many family members in one place, it was nice to pass the baby to someone and squeeze in a little extra sleep. I felt really rested to start my week back at home~ crazy! Anywho, Bennett not only met more of his family; he got to meet 3 of Kyle's closest buddies from his wake boarding lake days (no pictures with JT). Here are some of the photos~

In other good news, my big sister
Katie and her husband Blake are moving to Georgia next month! My brother-in-law got a job nearby, and they found a house just a short drive away! I am so so so excited; we haven't lived in the same place in years. It'll be so cool to have lots of quality time with them~ Kyle & Blake are both banjo players so I'm expected more bluegrass jams on the horizon. Happy day for all!
