Then he decided he wanted to give Poppy a big ole' poke in the eye.

Hal Templeton Baylor

Daddy Hal, Thomas's Great-Great-Grandfather, passed away Monday, July 6, 2009. He claimed to be 93, but his birth certificate suggests he was 96! This picture is a 5 generation picture. Thomas Ervin, Victoria Wright Ervin, Keith Baylor Wright, Sandra Baylor Wright, & Hal T. Baylor.
Daddy Hal's relatives included the founder of Baylor University, a defender of the Alamo, Texas Rangers, an aide de camp for George Washington, and relatives traced back all the way to Ireland. I have recordings of him singing Danny Boy, which I will try to post as soon as I can. He will be remembered for his love of history, and endless entertaining stories. When I was pregnant, he told me that he wanted to live long enough to meet his great-great-grandson, as Daddy Hal was very proud of his growing family. In true Daddy Hal style, he was remembered with a party where everyone was taking shots of Jack & partying to mariachis.

6 months old!!!


Thomas turned 6 months old yesterday! It's unbelievable how quickly the time has gone by. 2009 has been a crazy year to say the least!


Here is little Thomas snoozing his 1/2 year b-day away... such a cutie!
