Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my birthday. Today we gathered at Andy and Pam's house for a birthday dinner. Andy cooked a wonderful salmon on the grill and made a delicious salad and fresh vegetables. Joe, Sandi and Sam were able to come and KK and Margaret were there too. KK helped her Mommy bake the birthday cake and it was delicious. The weather was beautiful...not too hot but clear and warm. Sam slept through most of it. I had a wonderful time. Here are a few pictures....Pammy and Andy in the kitchen, Joe, Sandi and Sammy, MJ and KK and me....in no particular order....the pictures never end up where I thought I put them anyway. Thank heavens for these kids. Getting older would be no fun at all without them...hehehe

Sam in the Bassinet

Here is Sam in his bassinet. Also, snoozing through the Mariners game with Gabba holding him. Great way to spend the 4th of July.

He has a Name

Our new boy is Samuel Joseph, Sam for short. Joseph is his Daddy's name. Finally, we can call him by his name instead of Peanut, Joe Jr etc. Yay!

We are SO PROUD!!

We are still waiting to find out his name. Here he is, our new baby boy. His Daddy called me this morning about 6:45 to say that Sandi was in labor and they were at the hospital. The other grandparents and I waited all morning and he was born at 1:29 pm. He weighed 7 pounds 2 oz and I think he is19 inches long. The epidural worked as it was supposed to and Mommy and baby are doing great. He is really a beautiful baby and barely makes a peep. Very wide eyed and alert. We are so happy!!
