Saturday, October 31 - Happy Hall of Fame

Sharon and I decided to take a short fall trip and visit a few things we missed on our trip last year with the added bonus of a few days in New York City. We left yesterday afternoon and today we spent the afternoon at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. I had a great time going through all of the exhibits and shooting at the peach basket in the ground level gym.

We left Danville, Pennsylvania this morning, travelled through 5 states including Rhode Island which was #50 for each of us. Staying at the Airport Best Western in Providence, RI. Tomorrow we will be driving into New York City! Wish us luck.

Sunday, October 18 ~A New Baby Grandson

What better excuse to get back to writing my blog than the birth of a brand spanking new little grandson. Our youngest daughter, Sara and her husband Matt, had their little one on Thursday the 15th at 12:15 pm at Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati. She called me a little after 5 am and I was in my car and on the way by 5:45. When I got to their home, Sara was pacing but not too concerned but she, Matt and Matt's sister Sarah left for the hospital before 8. I fed Evie some breakfast and dropped her off at daycare/pre-school and then on over to the hospital. Things didn't start hopping until about 10:30 and after 11 things really started to go pretty fast. Sara was experiencing back labor again so she finally relented and went with the epidural. I'm not sure how effective it was during the delivery but she said she felt great afterwards. He was born at 12:15 and weighed 7 pounds and 9.3 ounces, Evie was 7.11. but he was 21" long and she was only 18". He is perfect in every way and so alert. He would open his eyes and seemed to be taking in the new world around him. We are so thankful that God has blessed us with another precious grandchild to love and spoil.
