This week's admirers

Tia Nettie, who wept the moment she laid eyes on our little guy.

And Tio Andy, who although I didn't actually see him tear up, seemed quite taken.
The next day it was Grampa, who had to be reminded to hug and kiss Mummy and Mommy before grabbing his grandson and making googly eyes.

And Cousin Joey, all tanned and freckled after a summer working on the beach, happy to finally have a young cousin to corrupt, er, play with. (Nice t-shirt, btw, Joe.)

And finally, Uncle Jacob, who grinned this broadly *before* being asked to be Asa's godfather. The smile afterwards was blinding. (Good luck, Uncle Jacob, as you begin your Ph.D. program. We love you!)

Thanks to everyone who's come by, and to everyone who has restrained themselves. I can't tell you how much we appreciate everyone's understanding that we both love having people meet our little Bean, and that we need rest and family-time. We are so lucky to have such great friends and family!
