In Case You’ve Been Wondering Where I Am / Updated.
Please meet Ben, my first grandchild, at 15 minutes old. 8 pounds, 13 ounces. My daughter-in-law is doing very well.
Here’s a movie. The voices you hear is my son and me. Please forgive me this personal indulgence.
I’ll be back to work soon as I recover from a giant case of the joys!
William is his first name. Ben is his middle name.
What a fine boy! Ms. J will turn Texas blue, one baby @ a time, if she has to.
1Congratulations to you and yours!
2The joy won’t go away, and it just keeps getting better and better. Congratulations to the whole family and remember, what happens at Grandma’s stays at Grandma’s.
3It is that you are a person, and a dang fine one, that’s keeping me coming back for more!
4There is nothing that makes my heart beat faster, expand further, bring tears to my eyes more quickly, than those litte feet pounding on the front steps, and the cry of joy, “G–Ma , my G-ma, I’m home!” (Please don’t tell the love of my life! That realm does not exist in this one!) he knows, (but tactfully ignores any implaccationls)
I have been very sick…sick enough for big fears and and rifts to family to show up so I have not visited the beaut shop as much as I could have in my normals as often as possible in the past–to have chosen this to read and to comment on..it is a gift of the highest order..
Thank you for sharing Ms. Jaunita Jean–this has brought some much needed joy into this readers life…
Congratulations to you & yours. What a beautiful baby. What a wonderful way for a person to start out…adored and welcomed into the world.

7Yay, he’s adorable! Enjoy him. My parents frequently wonder why they didn’t skip straight to being grandparents 😀
8Absence excused. Obviously I’ve been an absent reader. Congratulations.
So, here’s standard issue grandparent joke…
Why are grandparents and their grandchildren so compatible?
They have a common enemy.
Have fun!
9Grandchildren — life’s way of making up for wrinkles. Enjoy every minute, there’s nothing like it!
