Meet Baby Louis Grant. He is a very special baby, notably because he was born just in time for his Grandpa Bontrager to meet him just before he went to heaven. Louis has been a great source of joy and comfort for the whole family.
But we also like him just for him, too, not just for the events surrounding his birth. He's nice to hold and cuddle. He is warm and soft and very sweet. So far, his eyes are blue, but the brownish specks in them suggest that they will turn brown eventually.
Levi has discovered a special way to hold Louis. They both like it very much. It makes Levi look kinda like a pregnant sow, but it's a cozy hiding place for Louis, who likes very much to be held. No swing for him, thank you. And no crib, either.
Levi can get a surprising amount of work done with Louis in his coveralls. Even on a cold day, little Louis is safe and warm in his daddy's bosom.
Then it was my turn to carry Louis. Levi's coveralls had more extra room than mine did. I think maybe I looked worse than a pregnant sow.Of course, the little girls were outside with us to do the chores, as well as two dogs (Benny and Nora) and a goat (Amani).
Alice wanted to "hold the string."
It took a little coercion to get Benny pointed in the way he should go. He eventually popped out of his harness and went his own way. Imagine Alice's sadness at holding an empty "string" and harness.
