a tale of two barrys

this past weekend, caleb and i traveled to virginia to participate in the annual giles family christmas brunch. this was the first time that tom's extended family (on his mom's side) had met caleb. needless to say, they fell in love with him...and i'm pretty sure caleb felt the same way, at least about his great uncle barry. they really were quite silly shaking their heads and then laughing at each other. however, according to tom's brother, there's a new uncle barry in town. patrick's given name is barry patrick agnew and with the name comes the responsibility of living up to the original uncle barry's reputation of world's best uncle. throughout the weekend, new uncle barry spent plenty of time being silly with caleb himself. while new uncle barry still has a few lessons to learn from original uncle barry, he's doing a pretty good job of being an uncle. if you click on the question mark above the picture, you can view caleb's pic with original uncle barry.
