I am very excited to announce that grandchild number nine has arrived. He was two and a half weeks early. It's a good thing or he would have been a ten pounder. Ridge's daddy (Matt) wants him to be able to play now. Mommy (Mindy) just loves holding him and cuddling him.

"Hold a little longer, rock him a little more. Tell him another story, tell him a million more. Let him sleep on your shoulder, cherish his every smile. He is only a baby for just a little while."

It is amazing how as each member of the family comes that another door to your heart opens. Each of my children, their spouses and all my grandchildren have a place there. The love never stops. I have grandchild number ten coming on May 12 (my daughter-in-law is being started then). They are also having a boy. That will make 5 girls and 5 boys now. Boy! Is this great!
