My husband has plans to meet up with some ex coworkers this Saturday night. While he does that I plan on taking over the living room in my PJ’s, with a bowl of popcorn and season two of Weeds.

I am so excited, I feel like I have been waiting for season two to come out on DVD forever.

Bethany and I gave Rebecca her first bath last night.

As tired as I am, I wouldn’t trade these last few days with my daughter and granddaughter for anything.

Good choice CBS! I love Drew Carey. After all the media fuss, I think he is the best man for the job.

One of my favorite bloggers and on line friends is doing what he can to make a difference in the fight to end Alzheimer’s.
Currently over 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. I know my family has been directly effected by this devastating disease, and from I just read unless we find a way to change the course, 16 million Americans could have Alzheimer’s by 2050.
So if you feel you can help out my man Vito to hit his fund raising goal, please pay a visit to his donation page.
There is no donation too small or too big!

Been up since before dawn, up as in off the couch and out of the living room I don’t think there was ever really a down time for more then 20 minutes last night. Not that I am complaining. I am happy to let my daughter get the rest she needs while she can. Tomorrow I am back to work and then Tuesday she and the baby are going home. The house is going to feel so empty when they leave. At least I am only a phone call and about fifteen minutes away.

I took the first night shift last night with Rebecca so my daughter could get some much needed rest. First let me tell you, my granddaughter can hang ! About 2:30, 3:00am she gave me a look that said, hey grams whats up, all wide eyed and bright. Then she decided to really kick it and stay awake till 5:00am this morning. At that time Bethany wanted to be up for a while so I handed her over and took my sorry self to bed for a while. I am with out a doubt feeling my age this morning.

BUT, oh my goodness is she the sweetest little thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still too tired to really write but I uploaded a ton of photos to Flickr.

My granddaughter, Rebecca Lynn was born 12:15 this afternoon.

Both Rebecca and Mommy are doing well and should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow.

This grandma is too tired to write about the experince tonight. I have been up for over 40 hours straight and MUST go to bed.

We are headed your way! 

Yep, in April Gerry, Allison and I will be tagging along with my mom and step dad to visit some friends in London for a week.
I am pretty excited about it.

We will be staying with a good friend of my mom. Her and her husband have a very large house and have offered it up for the week. So that will cut any hotel and some of our meal cost. How nice is that! They are not only super nice but a very fun couple to spend time with, so I know it will be a great week. And from the emails I have read, they are just as excited to have us as we are to be going. Allison as been some what of pen pal with their granddaughter but I never really thought they would have a chance to ever meet. She is going to be so excited.

I took the girls to the pool for a few hours this morning.
We had such a good time. It felt so good to be out of the house and in the sun.

Our daughter Allison has always loved horses. About two years ago we signed her up for riding lessons and she did great. But I did not! Seeing my little girl, only six years old back then, way up on a full size horse totally freaked me out at the time. So we decided to wait until she got a little older.
Today was her second lesson. And as she did two years ago, she was awesome. She was very focused as she sat up on the horse and used her commands with full confidence. More then once the teacher called her a natural and said she will have no problem handling a horse that is a little more active next time. I am so proud of her.
Part of taking lessons is to learn how to fully take care of the horse and watching her walk him into his stable and help unsaddle and feed him was really sweet, her face was so filled with pride.
I came home this morning feeling really good. After trying to get her interested in a number of other sports, we finally found what is right for her.
I am so proud. Did I say that already?
