Family Alive

We made it home from the hospital today, and I was able to go for a bike ride around town while everyone was napping. It was extremely hot today, so I picked a shady route that wound through Mountain Brook and then on over to Red Mountain and then back up Shades Mountain. I was inspired to take pictures of Brookwood Medical Center, where we had just taken Josiah home from the hospital. Then I realized that I would also be able to take pictures of Montclair Hospital, where I was born almost 30 years ago, Mount Royals Towers, where my grandmother currently lives, and Samford University, where I currently work. It was a wonderful ride even with the heat!

Note the 102 degree temp and 19 mph current speed.	This is the view of Samford from standing in the same spot where I took the picture above of Montclair and Brookwood.
Here is a picture of Mount Royal Towers (foreground), where grandma lives, and Montclair Hospital (background), where I was born.	While still standing in the same spot as the picture to the left, I took this picture of Brookwood and Samford. So from this one spot on Shades Mountain I can see four very signifcant places in my life: 1. where I was born 2. where grandma lives 3. where Josiah was born 4. where I work

Finally, here’s Josiah’s first picture from home. Grandma “Bwaka” sure looks happy to be holding her grandson!
