And Now There Are Four

Ahhhh yes, Miss Purple Giraffe has a cousin. It's so neat to know that with God's will I'll be able to watch these two grow up and interact. If they bond like their Mothers (always capitalize Mother) they will be fast friends. Tickles me that Beagle and Mudslingr had "business" in Jackson yesterday and called saying they were detouring a bit before returning home. Beagle phoned and said, "Guess what we're doing?" My reply was, "Going to Baton Rouge of course." Her report several hours later confirmed a beautiful little girl that's at peace with the world. What an awesome begininng. Big sis was sure suprised when lil sis came through the door. You can't imagine what an overwhelming joy is in my heart to know that these two love each other so much. They are truly 'Daddy's girls' and now there are four of 'em! God is an AWESOME God. My cup runneth over.

Beagle, tyvm for the text msg informing me y'all had made it home safely. I must go wipe the tears then start clean up and prep for the LAN Party this evening. Festivities start at sixish. Later.

Mallory Elaine is Here!

She arrived around 10:00 AM, 18" long, just a little under 6 lbs, has blond hair and blue eyes. Rumor has it she's been asking for Big Daddy. Her Mother is resting and her Father survived as well. Whew! I need a Clonipin! Later!

C'mon Mr. Stork!!!!!

Today I am distracted. My daughter that lives in Baton Rouge is having a baby. Now. She went into the hospital late last night and we've solicited one report and everything is as to be expected. God knows I'd love to take off and be there for her, but the hooptiemobile is not that dependable. Anyway, Dr. Walker will see his wife through this and she'll have family there to get in the way trying to help before the day is done. She was scheduled to enter hospital this coming Tuesday so they were prepared.

Haven't talked to her since midnight, but reassuring Dad is probably not high on that priority list right now. Please pray for Kristi and Jay. Please pray for Mallory Elaine to arrive safely. It'll be so nice for Miss Purple Giraffe to have a cousin! Anyway, Big Daddy is in the house for now and may run late or reschedule you today. Bear with me. Beagle, you hang in there - Sis will need ya. Now it's time to take the morning meds. Later.
