JADE IS ON THE WAY!!

HERE SHE COMES!

At long last, our youngest daughter is having her youngest daughter!
It's been all of 9 months, can you imagine that?!!

Actually, it seems a bit longer, probably because she was ready weeks ago.
So, at 6:30 this A.M., when Jeremy called with the news, we were more than ready. Deb immediately jumped into the car to watch the kids, and I immediately went back to bed for an hour.
I have to hold down the fort while she's gone, ya see. Clean the house, feed the dogs, do the blog...I tell ya, it's never done!

So, here I am, doing my work, holding down this here fort. It's pretty lousy weather today, so fort holding is definitely not the worst thing I could be doing. Down the road, they're putting up a new house, a real monster, and I feel for the guys who have to work outside in 30 degree rain, and 20 mph winds.

I'll take house sitting. And blogging. Quite the man, eh?

Oh well. Where were they when the icy winds froze the water on my face and firecoat in the middle of those zillion winter firefighting nights??
Probably glad they weren't me, I'm thinkin'.

Okay. So, please, all you prayers out there, 1-2-3-PRAY!
For Jess, for the baby, for safe delivery of both back home to us.

Jess had complications for the first time with this pregnancy. A tear in her uterus had all of us concerned for the first 4 months. It's the kind of thing that could be really serious if it gets worse at the wrong time. Like now.
So. Golden arrows, please. Thanks.

We like having her around. You listening, Lord? I know you are.

Okay. I'll update this when Jade arrives. Stay tuned.
