WHERE WAS I?

I was in Virginia as my last post stated. However, after that post the computer I had with me would not let me post again. I tried several times to no avail, so let me catch you up. . . . Tiffanie and Shaun are the proud parents of a wonderful baby boy named after "both" his grandfathers (how fun is that?) We call him Jimmy and he is the cutest thing I ever laid eyes on (not counting all other babies). He is such a calm little fellow. He hardly cries, except for bath time and diaper changes. He's not much into hygiene. I have pictures, but I don't know how to post them here, so if you want to see them you gotta come over to my house or meet me for lunch or something.
I am soooooo grateful for all our many, many blessings around this major life event. Both he and his mommy are healthy, all four grandparents got to be there and hold him just after he was born, and did I mention he's just the best baby ever?

Leaving them was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but unavoidable in the situation. I couldn't help but think of all the families in by gone days who would have to say goodbye to a loved one and truly have little hope of seeing them again. Just letters to keep in touch for the rest of their lives. We live in a wonderful time with phones, e-mails, instant pictures to help us stay in touch with those who live far away. I am verrrrrrry grateful. This is the best of times!

We are home and trying to get things caught up here. Jim had started another remodeling project while I was gone so things are in a pretty big mess around here, but it will be so nice
when it's all done. I better go and get the bills paid before they turn off the elec....
