Hey,

You're back early...I know, the guilt from not being here to keep up our hurricane thread was killing you.

Keep that storm heading west, far west, then maybe some of those folks in Texas will get their wish.

Here she is -- 90 minutes old. That's pretty fresh!

Thank you all for staying up with me! I did go over to the hospital to see her; and I promised her Lilly clothes and I swore to start her Vera Bradley set this very day!

Will she be named Katrina?

Congratulations! There's nothing quite like grandchildren. They keep us young. We have 6 and potential for more.

Ah, no! She will be nicknamed SPEEDY and/or "When I say August 26th, I mean August 26th!"

You're back early...

Girl! The options of being stranded somewhere between Dallas and other midwest locations until Sunday/Monday...12 hours, via Orlando and a car rental...I made it home.

What a precious little bundle!

It's too bad you can't transfer that picture into your tag line.

She came out sucking her fingers, just like her brothers. That's just amazing to me.

Just woke up. Sounds pretty messy for our Florida friends. Trying to catch up, but lots of rain and powerlines down. Praying that all will be safe.
