We went.  We saw her.  We can now verify that she is definitely a beautiful baby girl.  And with some serious muscles on her.  She is a mere one week old and can wiggle her arms free of a tightly wrapped blanket, kick with the power of two legs (since...

Roadtrip

We’re awake, the sun is shining, and we’re getting ready to leave for NY.  Gram, Sarah and Ger should be here in about half an hour and then we’re off. So excited to see the baby, and Shaun, and Sue.  We haven’t been to their house since the house warming...
