New Grandson


Cally and Jed had their baby this morning. He weighed 8 pounds 12 ounces. She actually went into labor Saturday, but the close contractions stopped after about five hours. She has been having contractions continually since then and finally went back into the hospital last night about 11 p.m. She is tired but they are both doing okay. I think they are going to name him Grey. He has a few blotches on his face from the hard labor. At one point they had Cally prepped for a C-section, but then the baby decided to cooperate.

Jake and Lindsay have decided on Lander, Wyoming as the location for their new home. We are glad because it is closer than other options. It is close to the Wind River Mountains and a couple hours from Yellowstone. Now they just have to find a house and sell theirs. Jake is enjoying his new job.

We will be adding one more grandchild in the fall. Jenine is expecting.

We are having a beautiful warm sunny day. It is currently over 60, which is good because on Groundhog Day I vowed to only wear Hawaiin shirts until it reached 60. I like Hawaiin shirts, but I am getting tired of the limited selection.
