Week 5

Another week down. Tennessee won a football game and nights with Matt might be getting a little bit better. Spent this Monday on another trip to Blount County, but this time Matt got to go all the way to the mountains, to the home of Jim and Barbara Leach in Laurel Valley. Meg is out of school for fall break, so she and Bebe are staying with the Leach's until they get thrown out, or 1 night, whichever is less.
Great-Aunt Barbara. Either the picture is a tad fuzzy or I am. No bets either way.

Matt and Great-Uncle Jim off the Leach's back deck. Jim showed us pictures of bears, raccoons, and other critters on this deck. Matt, as usual, wasn't impressed with any of it.

For fairness and in response to my photo of Hope in a similar pose, Miss Meg caught me asleep with the little stinker.

Great Aunt Molly Pratt checked in this past week, in town from Nashville. The first photo from Matt's room, I believe. He hasn't spent a night in there yet.

Somewhere in there we gave Matt his first official bath. Pretty ridiculous that the bathtub had to be assembled. The extra set of hands are Meg's, whose been a big help, when she wants to be.

My second video masterpiece, with Matt getting suctioned after his bath (I think). Click on the play button and turn on your speakers!
