Tiffany and Rhett

The Horton Boys

Alexander and Rhett

Alexander is especially sweet with his little brother. Even when he and Rhett are on opposite sides of the room, he cannot look at the baby without raising one shoulder and cocking his head to the side in the “awwww” pose!

Brody and Rhett

Alexander and Brody are totally fascinated by “Baby Rhett”. They love to peek into his little bassinet in the morning, get his pacifier when he’s crying, and lay little toys on his blanket to keep him entertained.

First Bath

Grandmother and Grandaddy Horton came to stay at our home for a few days while Rex and I were at the hospital. Alexander and Brody LOVED having “granmamadaddy” all to themselves for so many days and nights!

When we returned from the hospital with Rhett they offered to stay on a bit longer. I don’t think I’ve said “yes” to any offer more quickly (well, except for that time Rex asked me to marry him!)

The highlight of their stay was watching Grandmother give Rhett his first home bath. I don’t know who enjoyed it more – Grandmother or Rhett. All I can say is that he enjoyed this one WAY more than the scrub down the nurses gave him when he first made his grand appearance into the world!

Share your sippy cup.

The other day I asked Alex to share his sippy cup with Brody. The ensuing 30 seconds were so funny to me. 1.) Alex decided that Brody needed a little help getting the cup into his mouth. 2.) Then he made that hilarious face we all make when we are trying to feed anything to another person. 3.) As soon as the target was reached Brody was barely able to drink because he was giggling uncontrollably. These guys keep us smiling all day long.

Lord help us . . .

Here we are asking God to help us get good grades in school so that we can get into Georgia Tech in 16 years (if we want to) . . .

Here we go! In these shots we are on the roof of the new ULC, which will probably seem very old by the time the boys are ready for college.  Alex on left and Brody on right.

Gravel Road

We had a great time showing the boys around the Tech campus for the first time and watching them get excited about things we never gave a second thought – like a really long tract of gravel!
