My Favorite Union Soldier

Our Son-in-Law, the history teacher,

who would make a great reenactor!

I love this photo. I don't know why it took me so long to get it posted. 

A lot of what we know about my Great Great Grandpa Isaac Timblin, who fought in the Civil War with the 139 Pennsylvania, was discovered by our son-in-law. I guess I was always too busy reading about the Army of Northern Virginia.

And then there's the next generation,
more interested in Thomas and Friends  :-)

We get to spend time with them (and our daughter and baby - see below) over Thanksgiving break. Can't wait! Skyping and phone calls are nice, but they're just not the same as a real-life hug. Nine hours is too far away.

We got this photo the other day...

Delivery expected late March, 2014

So the other day, Henry was talking to his little unborn sister. He said, 'Hi, Baby. I love you.' So our daughter told him to say, 'I am your brother Henry.'  He got really close to her belly and said, 'You are my brother Henry!'  :-)

He seems to think that Henry would be a good name for his baby sister also. When his mom said that Henry was a boy's name, he replied, 'No, Henry is a train's name.'

How can you argue with that?
