Marliss,

Congratulations on the birth of your first grandchild. What a joy for you!

My first grandchild was born last November, although I had 2 step-grandchildren already. We can watch our grandies grow up together.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, as you have a special birth to be thankful for as well.

Love,
Martha

Thank you, Martha! She was born there in Dallas to my son and daughter-in-law. Skype is a wonderful thing, so even though the connection was bad, I got to see her in real time for a few minutes when she was about six hours old. I will be going to see her in person Dec. 7th. She made my father the first great-grandfather in our family for who-knows-how-many generations, and there are first-time great-grands on her mother's side as well. My son and I are quite close, and I am looking forward to watching him learn the joys...and the heartaches... of parenthood.

Interestingly, her mother's family has gluten, lactose, and egg intolerances, although her mother doesn't seem to have any. I really appreciate this awareness on her mother's side as I suspect this little gal will have a few food intolerances of her own.

I hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful as well!!
