Jana is Married!

My only sister got married last week. She finally found the right man--Robert Berntson. All my siblings were there for the wedding, so the picture opps were too good to pass up. Jana looked beautiful, and she and Robert seem very, very happy.

Grandbaby #7

I'll get in trouble for posting this before Kathy updates her own blog, but I figure it's worth it to show off my newest grandchild. John Alexander Bitter was born on 10-8-10 at about 8:40 AM. Kathy was super-mom with her hynobirthing, and Brice was a dedicated and attentive coach/partner. I was privileged to be there and see it. Baby John weighed 9 lb, 3 oz--same as Kathy did as a newborn, and was 21" long. The nurse said she probably could have stretched him to 21 1/2", but new baby John wasn't too pleased with the measurement process. Kathy went home that evening...baby and all! They're doing very well, except for a tiny bit of jaundice in the baby.

Overheard After Dinner

As John and I left Iggy's restaurant last night, a mother and her young daughter exited at the same time.

Daughter: Mom, time me and see how fast I can run to the car. (Daughter takes off running at high speed, arms and legs flying, and arrives at car)

Daughter: OK, Mom. How long was that?
Mom: That's not our car.
Daughter: WHAT!?!...Well...pretend it is our car. How fast did I get here?

Who cares about the destination, as long as you arrive fast! Kind of a dangerous philosophy, but very funny to witness.
