Gayle (Nana) with her new pride and joy. I think she only broke into tears about 20 times. Not bad.....

Yep, he's a keeper. He (and his parents) gets to go home today. He's a light weight right now. My wife's chihuahua weighs more than Jesse. LOL. We couldn't have asked for a smoother delivery. I'm going back to work today,and won't have a lot of time to see the baby for a few days, but, that's cool. Kacie, the baby and her fellow need some alone time, but I doubt they'll get much of that for a while. I suppose that's the way it is.LOL. I appreciate you guys.

Now, I need some time to change the bearings and seals on the Sport's differential.

Thanks a lot guys.

Jerry, I'll see what I can do. Getting a pic of her is like pulling teeth. She hates it. The only reason I lucked out was because she had the baby in her hands. I'll see what I can find.

activities. and because you live in a warmer climate all these activities
will last longer. have fun. been there doing it yet.--irv

Being a Grandpa!!!

Vinnie,

Congrads to you and Gayle and the parents too. Just because you are a Grandpa has NOTHING to do with being old. I'll be 50 in 6 months and looking forward to the day I'll be "Grandpa". I work out twice a week and ride my bicycle 2-3x a week (20 -60+miles). I can out run,out walk and out work kids 30 yrs my junior. Being a Grandparent is a HONOR not a sign of being old. Being called any other name doesn't remove the fact of what you are. I say enjoy and embrace it!!!
