Tuesday - April 9

Happy Birthday Annette....................
the celebrating continues!
  New baby yesterday and  Mommy's birthday today!

 

The best birthday present ever....

 

We've had another big day at the hospital enjoying Luke.  Philip is spending the nights with Annette and although there is no nursery here, the nurses were kind to keep Luke with them from 11-5 last night so the kids could get some sleep   

 

This morning the photographer came around for a little photo shoot - great pics of our boy who was so cooperative and alert!

 

We had a little party of red velvet cupcakes and Bluebell Homemade Vanilla ice cream and presents for the birthday girl tonight. 

 

 Last night we heard from Ryan that the entire season of the Blue Angels has been canceled.    What a huge loss   Along with our deep disappointment of not seeing Ryan and the Blues perform, cannot imagine the devastating effect this will have across the country for all the communities who will lose so much revenue from all the canceled air shows.    Just a big blow to our country and military!     Ryan does not know where the pilots and all the Blue Angel personnel  will be going or what they'll be doing.    I am so bummed that our kids and grandsons will not be seeing them this year....please don't get me started!!!   Not a happy Mama right now and when

 Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!!!

 

Meant to tell you that our family (kids, grandsons, Judy, Dave, Mark and I) were in a pool ($1 each)for who would guess closest to Luke's birth weight.    The numbers ranged from 6 lbs. 9 oz. to 8 lbs. 13 oz. but Brooke and Annette hit it right on.....8 lbs. 8 oz.

 

Sweet baby boy
