New Baby!!!! A Grand DAUGHTER!!!!



This morning at Midnight our little Kaitlyn Rose entered the world. She weighed in at 5 pounds 13 ounces and is 18 inches long. Proud parents are Aaron & Cara and the proud brothers are Lane & Brendan. It's at times like this that it is SO hard being SO far away. It will be hard waiting until the end of February to see her! Thank goodness for instant photos sent hundreds of miles in a few seconds!

We are so excited for the new addition to our family!!! Thank goodness we have experience with our 2 adopted grand daughters, Clarissa and Abby...or we wouldn't know what to do with a GIRL... after FOUR grandsons, this will be an interesting and fun change.

What have we been doing?

It's been quite a while since I posted anything. I don't know where this year has gone! This time last year we were in Michigan busy packing up our house for a hopeful job and move to Georgia. Today I'm finishing up the inside Christmas decorations. We got to have Lane come visit for a few days before Thanksgiving. We celebrated his birthday a few days late. It was pretty nasty weather most of the time that Lane was here. We got lots of computer time in, of course. We went shopping and played ball in the front yard. In October we got to have friends from Michigan come spend a few days with us. Thanks for coming Gena & Phil. Then the next weekend we got a surprise visit from John, Sue, Julia, Lily & Shaun. They stopped for a sleep over on their way to Disney World, then on their way back we met them for dinner. It was great!

The weather in Georgia has been crazy lately,from very chilly to kinda warm, sunny to lots of rain. I've never lived anywhere where you may have the heat on in the morning and the air conditioner on in the afternoon.

We both stay busy with our church callings. Tom stays busier than he'd like to be at work and our lives go on.

How are you?
Michele
