All the Planets in Perfect Harmony




Here are pictures of my son Ben around age 4 and his lovely Joriel, slightly younger.
When my husband and I had our first child he was over the moon with excitement. He was in the hospital lobby and saw someone he knew and felt compelled to share his good news. In a daze he walked up to them and said, “Congratulation, I just had a son” and handed them a cigar. His friend just laughed, realizing his exhausted and emotional state. I know just how he felt, so here goes.

Congratulations, I’m going to be a grandmother!!!
And if that were not enough…
Congratulations, I just got a promotion!!!

I’m not sure what constellation my lucky planet is in right now, but these last few days have been incredible. The baby will be due around my father’s birthday in September and my promotion goes into effect at the end of the month. Whoo, whoo!!! How lucky am I?

Hey! Much congratulations to you! I talked to Andy the other day and he said you'd be incredibly excited. (I forgot his exact words, but I got the idea.) Wonderful!

Kathy, I am happy for them and for us all. Woo woo! As far as the job I'll actually be in Richmond until the end of June. After that I will be in Denver a lot, but I think mostly for a week at a time, but some two week stents based on need.
Variations, it is very exciting. I only wish I were nearer to them.
TG, thanks, is this going to be a cute baby or what?
Thanks James, I am not going to be your typical grandmother. Hope this kid likes to dance.
