Keeping It Real Wednesday - Big Brothers

I put these pictures in a post and didn't have time to blog about them.  But with two boys this cute I should have found time to blog about it.  This adorable little guy is Abney, Jimbo and Britney's big dude. We all went to Ole Miss together and Matt and Jimbo were KA's together and attached at the hip. They were both enigerneering majors and had all of their classes togther. I wish I could tell you that they studied together, but they actually skipped class and played golf together. Flash forward 7 years later and Jimbo is a second year orthopaedics resident and God willing Matt will start an orthopaedic residency in July. I foresee more hip attachement going on between these two.

Now that I have caught you up to present day, Jackson and Abney are 3 months apart and this summer when Matt broke the news to Jimbo about baby number 2 coming in January, Jimbo had news of his own about baby number 2 in December.  I also need to add that while Jackson was in a hurry to get here and was born 2 weeks early, Abney was in an even bigger hurry and came 4 weeks early.  Well, not to be out done, baby number 2, Benny came 6 weeks early, but Mom and baby were both healthy!

Once they got home we went over for a visit.  Benny slept the entire time, as to be expected for a baby that should still be in his mama's warm tummy, but he sure was sporting his Rebel tobagan.  But while he slept Abney and Jackson discussed thier deep love of Elmo.  We are not sure what it is about Elmo, but they LOVE him!

We need to get these little guys together more.  They were too cute for words playing together.  And once Mary Frances gets here in January Benny will have a nap mate.  It is so exciting to have great friends that you can share life with from one stage to the next.  We haven been extremely blessed in that and I am so greatful.
