@Tabatha_Cain I had been thinking that Daniel must have been born. Awwww what a cutie!!! Awwww, look how dark his hair is. SWEET BOY!! Oh, no doubt you'll spend every moment you can with him. My GD lives an hour away, she works 40 hours a week. Roman (soon to be 8) is in school for a few more weeks, his father has him 3 weekends a month. There's NOT much Grandma in person time. As Daniel gets older, though no doubt you'll be talking to your D, Sarah and I often hehehehehe use FaceTime because Awwww I gotta spoil them boys as much as I can with positive words. They are very fortunate in that Sarah is also this way.
@Kurtize, I WISH this were a relaxing weekend. It's not going to be. Tomorrow, meeting with friends to eat (of course!) at a fish place we all like. I hope yours is!0 -
