My brother had a little boy, Ty Samuel, at 12:27 am today. Mommy and baby are doing fine. Big sister Athena is excited. We went to the hospital this morning and Athena threw a temper tantrum when it was time to leave. She wanted to stay with Mommy and Daddy at the hospital. It was hard to reason with a 5 year old but eventually she lost and is back home with me. Should be a fun night around here. I called my dad this morning to tell him and he didn't even know my brother was expecting. Chris (my little brother) hasn't talked to him in the last 30 years. Long story there but it has to do with my father leaving my mother when he was really small. But being the oldest sibling I let dad know anyways. I found out my dad has type II diabeties and COPD now. Guess my future is pretty well sealed as his mom was a diabetic and his brother died of emphysema in his 50's.

Well enough rambling for now, have a good day ladies:hug:

Congrats to your brother and his wife on their new baby boy - cute name I like it. Yes, it's hard to reason with a 5- yr old when they want what they want and thats all there is to it! Wow, sorry to hear about your dad ... is this the 1st time you've talked to him or have you kept in contact with him over the years.

OK EVERYONE - NO MORE POSTS IN THIS THREAD - ON TO #19! SEE YA THERE!

Love, CJ
