Tony and Carmen finally had their first baby and also had a quick scare when the baby needed to be air evacuated to Tucson Medical Center for a routine digestive tract surgery. Everything worked out well in the end but I think Tony got some gray hair as a result of everything.
At their request we headed on down to assist the new parents. Dillon Diego Batchelder turned out to be a very healthy bright eyed baby boy that had a direct resemblance of his daddy, dark hair and a hefty weight to him. It was like a mini-Tony.
We all got to hold the new baby and meet our newest Nephew.
Tony was a very proud Father indeed. During our visit he asked all the right questions a new Father should ask. We were very honored to be there to assist in any way that we could.
Little Zoe was lively as ever and really started to bond with Neleha. They spent a lot of time together. Neleha watched out for her anytime other kids came around. It was the first time that I saw Neleha actually "Mother Hen" anyone.
Tony got out his friends 4-wheeler to give the girls a real Arizona backcountry experience.
The girls really enjoyed the ride.
After spending an afternoon with our old friends Hans & April the girls got to experience another form of transportation that they had never done, the back of a truck. We only drove that way for about 2 miles but they thought it was such a neat way to get some where.
Kristy introduced everyone to some of her cultural background by making some "Buckeye Candies" everyone really loved them.
It was very awesome to watch my girls play with Hans' kids. I don't think either one of us could have imagined that this day would have come. It was very comforting to see that things had turned out well for both of us.
The new Mommy was doing a great job, she talked to Kristy about what ever Moms talk about and asked her advice for what ever Moms need to know. Carmen was certainly glowing with that new Mommy glow.
Our last night in town I talked my brothers and Hans into a little game of Risk. We started around 11:00pm and called it quits around 2:00am. Tony had pretty much taken over the world so we submitted to his certain victory.
We had a great time during the short visit. Tony & Carmen's family is certainly on the grow. A beautiful family indeed!
