Don't you just love babies?

We needed a motorcycle ride today, and our riding buddies, Charlene and Pat, were in from St. Louis (their new home). Cliff's Kansas brother was going to be at his son's to see the new baby. Since Scotty is a favorite nephew of ours, we decided that would be a great destination; we joined up with our riding pals and off we went.


The town has a peculiar name, don't you think?

I held Halie Marie; she slept through it all.

Charlene held Halie. Still she slept.

Cliff's brother's wife, Mary, held the baby. At least we finally saw her eyes. Then Cliff took her, and...

the three-week-old baby smiled...

and smiled...

and tried her best to coo.

What's Cliff got that us ladies don't?
