    Sorry for interupting the slugfest, but I would like to share my good news.  My first grandchild arrived yesterday.  A boy, 9lb 2oz,  22 inches.  Mother, father and baby are doing well.  Grandma on the other hand has a headache this morning!

    Also, can we go back to chatting about cheetos and chocolate and maybe wine?

    Congrats are in order Navy!   He's a big one, too.  I had one that size, and my arms never looked so toned as the first year when I had to lift and carry him all the time.  I guess I should warn you now that Cheetos do not puree very well for baby, but they like the pureed spinach and mashed banana combination A LOT, and I have to say that it WAS pretty tasty.  It won't be long before he'll be able to leave a trail of little orange handprints around Grandma's house.

    Also, a little Faith-birdie mentioned that our Barbe is celebrating a birthday today so I blew up some balloons myself.  The hot air makes them rise.

    Ainm - I love Bailey's!!! DH and I are thinking of a trip to Ireland next year when we will be back in England for my Mum's 80th birthday. Any suggestions? DH likes good beer, a village to stay in (so it's easy to walk home from the pub and to go get a morning paper) and nice walks!!!

    I adore Ireland! Been twice and hope to go again someday. We stayed in some manor houses and old castles and a lovely small place in Glendalouch (sp?) which at the time was owned by a friend of my Dad's and they were wonderful. Anywhere there is just beautiful! Everyone was so friendly and nice.

    My daughter's birthday is next Friday and my uncle who recently passed away would have had his birthday on Sat. along with his son and grandson - all on the same day! Just happened that way. Then most of the rest of his family and in laws are all on the 22nd.  except one - weird. Yay May!

    I must say, I've never had such a geographically wide-spread of birthday wishes! Was too busy at work yesterday to log on so got them all today. Thanks!

    The last thing on my bucket list is Ireland as it's my DH's wish...when I finish my bucket list do I make another one, or do I have to "go"?

    Barbe, You keep adding to the bucket list. You are not allowed to "go." My sister calls it dangling carrots. There's always something to do and reach for. I have short term goals and long term goals. Get out a pencil missy and write!

    Hi everybody. Thanks for all your well wishes. I just finished skyping(sp?) with the new mom and dad and I got a chance to "see" my Grandson for the first time.  Even had his eyes open for awhile.  What an emotional ride.  I am speechless.
