Then we had a nice stay at hotel Aplin. Not only do they take good care of us, but they also stepped in as Susannah's first babysitters. That's right, Ben and Beth got to go out for dinner by themselves for the first time. (It was swell until Beth got home and spent the rest of the night with her head in the toilet due to food poisoning. Sorry no pictures of that special moment.)
Jill however makes good eggs; something for Susannah to look forward to.
Jill was big on "brain development". Something Susannah's parents are still working on.
Beth and Susannah dropped in the nursing home to see the other great grandmother, Ibbe. Lizzie stopped by and confirmed that S was a better baby than her mother was at that age.
We dropped by Shay Shay and Grandaddy John to see their 480th place of residence. They have plans to build Susannah a play house--I mean play castle-- in the back yard. Here they are discussing the plans.
Eventually Queen S mastered the art of visiting while sleeping. Grandma Moonpie didn't seem to mind.
Last but not least the Mcdonalds came over for a meet and greet - Aunt Sally and Cousin Miles below.
And after waking up at 5am this morning in Chattanooga, we returned to our apartment around 1pm. We put S down on the floor and she immediately began to smile. We aren't sure if she was just glad to be just another baby back in Brooklyn or just glad to be out of the sweaty airplane and taxi. Nonetheless, she is an amazing traveler so far. This is a good thing because visits to Chatty are a must, or else it will be off with her parents' heads.

Come back; we miss all of you!
OMG - she's already so much bigger! That last photo is just edible. Can't wait to get back to BK and play. Officially heading back East tomorrow. First stop: Vegas. Maybe little s would like a sparkly romper? Indeed.
So glad I got to see you and Susannah. Also glad that you all made it back safely. Say hey to Ben and the cheeky monkey.
Love, Kelly
that's a great story. also great to see you guys this past weekend. glad you're back.
We've been steadily watching Susannah Liz morph from long-fingered elegant newborn to gorgeous babe with becoming fat roles. Again and again, we marvel at Beth's writing talent. Though we haven't voted yet, we're darn sure Susannah Liz is a daddy's girl. (Lucky girl.) And always the progress reports on her kidneys take us back to our very first weeks with Colin. Thank you Beth and Ben--and of course, Susannah Liz.
