Welcome the newest "LITTLE LAWSON"

Reid Lawson

Six Weeks Old

About a month ago the John Lawson family ventured up to visit with the David Lawson family. Yes, they are brothers. John is #4 of 5 and David is #5 of 5. David's oldest son, Jared, and his wife, Cassie, just had their second child. We were anxious to meet the new little Lawson and Josh was home from Arkansas so we picked up Courtney and Lawson in Birmingham and headed to Priceville. The whole family wasn't able to schedule the trip ( Dave, Brady, Kim and kids ). We missed them. We were excited to be going to visit and got the added extra of a beautiful ride. Jared, Cassie and oldest son, Maclain just moved into a new home so we had a small glitch with the GPS but got there pretty easily. It appears that Berry isn't the only town that GPS has trouble with! I think the difference is that one is so small and one is growing so fast. Can you guess which is which?

We had such a wonderful visit. Reid was about two weeks old and we spent most of our time holding and loving on him. Is there anything better than smelling a sweet baby? Lawson and Maclain enjoyed some special cousin time. There are usually 14 little 2nd cousins around ( I think Reid makes 15 ) when these two are together so they got some one on one time. And boy did they bond. Maclain decided that Lawson was spending the night and he had it all planned.....he told me that he would sleep in the closet, Lawson could sleep in his bed and he proceeded to start pumping up his sleeping bag. Yes, I said pumping up. Maclain had the neatest sleeping bag....the top looks like a regular sleeping bag and the bottom pumps up like a blow up mattress. We had such a great family afternoon. Jared got home from work, David and Linda came over and our niece, David's oldest child, Jamie came after work. We also missed ( David's youngest son ) Justin. The boys played inside and outside while the adults visited and then we ate a great BarBQ supper.

Reid slept through most of the family time. He is a beautiful baby and Maclain is being an excellent big brother. Cassie had to have a c section, Reid came a month early, and she looked great.

Tennessee would be trying to presign Reid for football if he had gone another
month!

John and David are the two sons in their family, they each had two sons and now there are three great grandsons. John Brady III, Maclain and Reid. I think the Lawson name is safe for a another generation.

Thanks for welcoming us to your new home to visit our new great nephew.

Family is fun!

Cousins Maclain and Lawson. We put Lawson's PJ's on for the trip home so Maclain put his on also. Maclain was so disappointed when he figured out that Lawson wasn't staying. Law was still a little too young to realize that possibility.

Lawson finally realized there was a baby around when Linda put Reid in his bouncer for us to eat supper.

Reid's birth announcement. Notice his weight. He wasn't due for another month!

Congratulations Jared and Cassie!
