Faith Gets a Phone Call

Faith got her first phone call from her cousin, Eliza. Eliza is Baden and Mary's oldest child and they live in Spokane. Eliza and Faith have always had a special friendship. They are very attached whenever we get together. Eliza is a very articulate, talkative, and spirited. Faith is not so articulate, not usually very talkative and perhaps the sweetest little spirit ever born. They LOVE each other.

Abe snapped these pictures of Faith during her first phone call.


"Eliza? Is that really you? I can't believe it!"















"Okay, serious question. What are asking Santa for Christmas?"















"You don't say!"


















"Please, Dad, this is a private conversation."
















"You can't be serious!"















"Does your mother do that too? Mothers can be so exasperating!"















"I guess it is time for bed."

















"I'm so happy you're my cousin!"

The actual phone call lasted much longer. I think they would have kept on talking indefinitely, except that a much needed potty break on Faith's side ended the call.
