Back to Virtual Life

After more than a month solely in the real world, I am getting back to my virtual world. It may be tough to regain the virtual prowess I had in the past, but I am going to give it a try. Actually, I have a great way to kick start the attempt. Our newest grandbaby was born yesterday! Yes, Jackson James De Lange now has a sister and they call her Payton. You are needing pictures! Yes, I know, and I should have those up later today. Please be patient. We needed patience as we waited for Payton to decide to "come out of there" as Jackson would say. A doctor told Erin that she could deliver anytime about a month ago. Of course, "anytime" could mean now or a long time from now. I think Erin thought it meant "now" and has been expecting Payton to make her appearance daily since then. So, we have too. Well, Payton understood "anytime" to mean yesterday!! Here are her vital stats at birth.

Born about 2:30 PM, Wednesday, August 13 after a short labor.

19 inches long and just under 7 pounds (Just like Alec, our son, but we will assume that Payton will not grow to be 6'5" like her uncle)

Didn't see her hair or eyes yesterday but my guess is, not much and dark blue.

Erin and James are both doing well. James parents and the "cousins" were all here for the arrival. It has been BUSY and fun.

More soon
