Comment by mtnmom on January 29, 2015 at 4:40pm: Hi All;

Haven't been on for a while. It took over half an hour of reading to get caught with ya"ll.

T-Lynn- Welcome to the Grandma Club, he's so beautiful. Blondy, so glad your family members are improving. Loved the pictures of the snow, with the drought here, snow would be very welcomed.

Not much happening here. My sailor has finally moved into his apartment and sounded much happier when I talked with him a week ago, he was unpacking. I probably won't get to see him again until the end of his assignment. But I know he's safe.

Over the weekend, I went to Ventura for my grandson's first birthday. When I left it was 39 and foggy, and stayed like that until I got on the Grapevine (over 200 miles south of my house). When I got to Ventura, it was 85, that's right 85. I was miserable, it was too hot. Had a ball at the birthday party.

Well, take care everyone, and keep the grandbaby pics coming.

Comment by MaggieMay on January 29, 2015 at 3:23pm: Congratulations Tlynn! So precious....have fun spoiling him!!!!

Comment by Shelly on January 29, 2015 at 2:56pm: T-Lynn, Congratulations Grandma!!! Cutie pie there!!!

Comment by T-Lynn on January 29, 2015 at 1:55pm: HI all,

Sorry I have not been on. I have had no time at all

Four hours after she arrived at the hospital - Riker arrived.

I have still had to work with my scouts ( Scientist Pin) and between them - getting the baby room finalized, comforting the puppy and cats, hubby having some overtime and going to the hospital to meet him - no time to get on here.

Great to be in the Grandma Club .

Need to get - they should be here any minute and I have to pack the car for scouts.

hugs all

Comment by T-Lynn on January 29, 2015 at 1:52pm: He is on his way home. Spoiling time!!!

Comment by T-Lynn on January 29, 2015 at 1:52pm: Hi

Please meet my grandson.

Riker Alexander Serrano

Born January 27, 2015 at 12:23 PM

19 inches long

6 pounds and 9 ounces

Full head of hair and attitude already.

Comment by Cheryl-TedsMom on January 29, 2015 at 8:45am: Blondie great pics !

Kim we have survived the Blizzard of 2015, but of course more snow predicted for Friday and again on Monday.

Here's a pic of my other 6' son at the end of our driveway @ halfway through the storm on Tuesday.

Comment by Kim on January 28, 2015 at 11:02am: TLynn.....Where is that BABY?

I just caught up on this site. Too much to post on but I read every one giving hugs and prayers were needed.

Welcome new moms.

I love all the pictures. I also recognized Shark. I'm curious, where are Shark and Angel going on Magg's credit card? Maybe we can all tag along.

Blondie, prayers are ongoing. Huggs too.

Shelly, sailors going back to Japan is never easy. Hugs to all that had to say good bye recently.

Cheryl, how are you doing? Did you escape the blizzard conditions? My sailor lives in northeast NY and he only ended up with 3 inches. New England district shut down all offices, so he had more baby bonding time and little shoveling.

Comment by T-Lynn on January 27, 2015 at 1:18pm: HI

thank you - I have not clue how or what the dentist use to rebuild that tooth. I had already made that promise to myself NOT to eat hard foods on that side. Bu I was told it was ok after a few days.Me - to chicken to do so.

Blondie - BEST news ever . Hugs and Positive vibes STILL coming. How is Jack?

Hi Judi - very your dil is ok.

As of right now - BABY ALERT !!!!

Water broke this morning - pains constant and strong!

Son came running to me to come help her get ready to go to hospital. Now son was teh perfect TV comic show father to be - "Where are your slippers? In teh bag - all the stuff is in the bag! Just take the bag to car!!! Why are you taking teh stroller?" This went on for 15 minutes. I helped her get ready to go NOW I am waiting - no word yet.

But I jump each time my cell rings. Its been family checking in if baby is here.

Have to get ready for scouts.

hugs all

Comment by Cheryl-TedsMom on January 27, 2015 at 12:13pm: Blondie great news that Wanda & your Uncle are improving.

Snow is still flying - more to come. Luckily everyone work is cancelled for Tues. This one is a big one but, we were talking about this morning, it seems that even a flurry seems to make them close school these days. Geesh!

Hubby & son have decided to have an early american breakfast beverage - Beer! Neither drink during the week and having the day off is a good excuse to crack open some of the craft brews they've been hording. I love my knuckleheads!

judi - thank God for technology. My neighbor was a Yokosuka navy brat and she was happy that I am now able to email & talk to my sailor - unlike her when she would only get letters from her grandparents and others growing up.
