I'm An Aunt Again!

I had to call my brother this morning just because I had to.  I just had this feeling that I had to call and see how Laura was doing and when they were expecting he/she.  I finally called at about 10:00 a.m. and Greg sounded terrible!!!  The first thing he said after I growled at him about not calling me was She's here!  She was born last night or this morning early and she still hasn't been given a name yet(at least I haven't heard).  She was full-term and weighed 7 lbs 14 ozs.  Bigger then Alex, who was singing about being a new big sister.  I just love them all and I wish mom and dad were here to see all of them.  Mom would have so enjoyed these grandkids and Greg's family.

Snowed In!!!!

WOW!!!  This is just like when I was a kid!!!  We use to have so much snow at this time of year and now we've finally had one of those storms.  Actually, two storms, one right after the other.  As an adult I have a lot of mixed feelings, but as a child I couldn't wait for this kind of weather.  I have some great pictures of some of our winter experiences.  I have to admit it is truly beautiful to see!  As an adult, however, as I watched the snow build up and listen to the reports, I thought about the street people in the cities, the stray dogs and cats, and the elderly people living alone.  It made me sad that as a nation, we can't help.  I know that there are always people trying to help, but they don't have help most of the time.  Anyway, I thank God that I am lucky to have a roof over my head and food.
