Yes, congratulations! However, I have a question, a personal one, and you don't have to answer unless you want too--but why weren't you there?

Because my daughter lives in Germany and I sure as heII am not going to fly over there right now. Also, my husband is in the army, he can't leave because of his alert status, can't take the kids because school, and I don't want to be in Germany if he gets called.

walkingdude: what do you mean? I'm not THAT bad!! am I??

yupp a hazelnut alright. Thank you veryone. So far his hair is really dark, that's what they tell me. Not sure tho because my daughter is blond and her husband's hair is almost black.

I am feeling a little better. Didn't even go out and buy some sleezy hiking cloth. Bought some sushi tho. :) I am excited, and hope to get at least a picture real soon.

You and me, Gemini
You have kids, give them life, raise them up, and what do they do? They turn around an embarass you by making you a premature grandparent.

There is revenge, however. When I visit my son and daughter-in-law, I get the kids all pumped up right before bedtime and ... leave.

Experience trumps youth!

Congratulations. There is life after grandparent-hood. You'll love it.
