In the last installment, Fred and Alice Kealy told their two young sons, Jason and Jeremy, that a baby brother or sister was on the way.
Lindsey and Nathan
A third son was born to Fred and Alice Kealy. They named him Lindsey. He had his father's deep-blue eyes, and his mother's blonde wavy hair. Jason was 10-years-old, and Jeremy was 4 1/2.
Lindsey was the baby boy who grinned at everyone and laughed easily. His eyes always sparkled, and sometimes seemed to show a hint of mischief. Once he learned to crawl he crawled everywhere. Once he learned to walk he went on exploring expeditions at home and at church. Someone always had to chase after Lindsey to make sure he didn't wander into trouble somewhere.
Meanwhile, Alice had always nursed her babies. She had always been told that nursing mothers can't get pregnant. That worked when she had nursed Jason and Jeremy. But not so with Lindsey. When Lindsey was around a year old Alice discovered that she was pregnant again.
Several months later a fourth son was born to Fred and Alice Kealy. They named him Nathan. He had his mother's gray eyes and blonde wavy hair. Lindsey was only 18-months-old when his baby brother was born. Jason was age 11 (not yet 12), and Jeremy had just turned 6 a few weeks earlier.
Nathan was the baby who always babbled about something. No matter what was going on he had something to say about it. He had the same charming smile as his brother Lindsey. As soon as he learned to crawl Nathan followed Lindsey around. As soon as he could walk Nathan went on exploring expeditions with Lindsey. No matter where Lindsey went, Nathan was sure to follow.
At church Marie Hart thought those two youngest Kealy boys were absolutely adorable. She always had to go over to them and pinch their cheeks. When Lindsey and Nathan became older they started running away as soon as they saw Marie heading for them. It was not unusual to see Marie chasing after them down a church hallway.
