2009 is here and thank goodness for that. For some reason I'm always glad to get rid of the old year. I guess it's my undying optimism that the new one will somehow be better. (I hear snickering out there. Is it my use of the word optimism?) I think there's hope for this year as it's off to a good start. My beautiful, brilliant, perfect, and cuddly grandbaby joined the family. (Actually the blessed event was Dec. 29th, but I'm pretending that is was the start of the New Year.) Emily Rose Argyle came to us weighing in at a whopping 4 lbs. 2 oz.! As she couldn't quite put on the ounces, she's still in the hospital until she stops losing weight. They decided to put a feeding tube into her tummy so she can grow enough to at least stay warm. Claire looks darn good for having just delivered, doesn't she.
Here she is celebrating New Year's Eve in her traditional Fun Family New Year's Eve hat. 
Bye for now. There are great things in store and lots of my world to come.

ReplyDeleteIt's here at last. Looking forward to weekly updates, especially once you start back to school. It will be good to have that perspective.
