Good for them! I live in Boston, and this story was on our local news this afternoon. Living in the Boston area will give them some free babysitting services, since Ben’s mom lives in Cambridge and Jen’s sister lives in Newton.

There’s also been rumors that his middle name is August because that’s when he was conceived! I don’t think Casey or Summer has ever confirmed the origins of the name though, although there’s been lots of speculation re: the River connections.

WOW! I didn’t know Casey married Summer Phoenix, nor did I know they named their son after River’s character (Indiana Jones) and his birthdate (August)

neat.

Jennifer Garner seems really down to earth it’s one of the reasons I like her (besides being a good actress). Dawn said it best, you don’t have to live in LA to have a great movie career.

Love it. So glad that even though they are “celebrities” they act like regular people. And so glad that Violet will be raised with her extended family around. Her grandparents in West Virginia are really close so she will have them around as she is growing up. So important for a kid. Happy for them and the family.

Awww, yay!! I live about half an hour west of Boston and am very proud of my city-glad to see Ben and Jen love it too! I’ll be sure to let y’all know if and when I see the family around, which could be sooner rather than later-Ben will be right in my town around the 27th of this month working on his movie “Gone, Baby, Gone.” One of my classmates saw him at the Subway in our town about two months ago and manages to snag a pic on her cell-it was definitely Mr. Affleck! I hope this rumor is true.
