Tah Dah! Some Great News for a change!!!!!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Howdy, y’all. I’ve missed you so much. I have some wonderful news to impart for a change. My niece, Kaytie, had her daughter Heather Ceceil at 12:37pm on 9 July, in Janesville, Wi. So, my big brother is a grandpa at the ripe old age of 43, and he and his wife are just tickled pink. That makes me a great-aunt! :smiley: :slight_smile: :smiley: :slight_smile:

Sweet little midget <quoting Grandma now :slight_smile: > weighed in at 6lbs, 10oz; is 19" long and has dark hair. I forgot to ask what color her eyes are, but probably the usual baby blue for now, and possibly brown or hazel when she’s a little older. Doesn’t matter; I’m sure she’s as adorable as her momma!!! I love you very much, Kaytie girl, and I’m so proud of you.

Now, here’s the non-alcoholic bubbly and the candy cigars to celebrate. Here you are, plenty for everyone!!! Aww, heck! Let’s have a full party!!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Hugs for everyone!!!

Ok, assorted drinks over on this table, and the munchies are on the table next to it. Join in one and all, and help us celebrate such a wonderful occasion. A new life in the world is God’s way of saying that the human race will go on. That there is hope for us all. I’m so happy, I want to hop on the next plane up there! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Come on, dig in! Grab a drink! Celebrate!!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Did I mention that I’m really, really, REALLY Happy about this??!?!:wink: Giggles

[sub]<Yes, I did notice the interesting middle name she was given by her maternal great-grandpa, God rest him. She’d fit right in, wouldn’t she?!;)>[/sub]

Thank you, thank you very much. I’ll be sure and pass along the good wishes soon. I understand Mom and daughter will be leaving the hospital Wed. afternoon.

Thanks, Whammo! By all means, help yourself, plenty of food and drinks for everyone.

Zen! How nice of you to drop by. I’ll pass on the best wishes asap. Huggles, giggles I like that.

Thanks, dlgirl, she certainly will be, I’m sure, by all of us in Texas as well as Wisconsin and wherever. She has relatives in Austin and San Antone.

Very kind of you to say, White Lightning. Yes, I do think it’s past time for some good news, and I couldn’t think of better than welcoming a new family member.

Thanks, Jim, much appreciated. I hope you’ll grant me a raincheck on the next time I can make it up to Dallas. Is it my turn to buy you a drink? :wink:

Yep, yep! I sure do realize that, Simetra. I hope that some day ‘l’il midget’ will think of me as a grrrrrrreat Aunt as well as a great-Aunt. :slight_smile:

Come on, everyone, this is a party! Hugs for all!!!

Yay Purp:-) And all associated people as well;)

So how does one pronounce Ceceil?

11

Ceceil?!?

You named her for The All Wise One, Himself?!
WOW!! True SD dedication! :slight_smile:

12

PurpleBear, sweetie, you can buy me a drink anytime you are in Dallas, but I’m not keeping score. Your comapny is well worth the price of a drink or dinner.

And you know, darlin’, I always want ‘the best’ for you. And being ‘the best’, I … OK, I won’t go there.

<<sneaks a kiss on her cheek for being OH, WOW! … (sorry, that just slipped out)>>

awesome news purplebear. there is nothing like a litte niece to spoil. i’m sure rumba pants and spoiling are at the top of the list. congratulation, auntie! i know she will think you are great.

14

Why does the champagne have to be NON-alcoholic? We’re the ones drinking it!

Anyway, congratulations one and all! As she grows older be sure to indoctinate her as a Doper. I plan on doing that with my nephews. Maybe she can meet Ian Scott Johnson(2/13/01) someday!

15

That is wonderful news, purplebear! May she grow up to be as sweet and kind as her Auntie Karyn. :slight_smile:

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!

Jeg elsker dig, Thomas

Congrats, purplebear! You should take the little nipper and get her picture taken in front of that big cow.

17

Well, Paddy m’dear, if I can translate it to print correctly, I think it would be See-seal*’***. And thank you.

LOL! No, Bosda, she was named by her maternal great-grandpa, several months ago, as I understand it. Great coincidence though, don’t you agree? :wink:

Why, Jim! BLUSH I…I…I don’t know what to say. Except thank you very much. And watch what you say! You’ll be making my brother and sister<in-law> wonder. :eek: giggles But I know you’re just teasing me.

Thank you, rocking chair, what a sweet thing to say. I’ll pass on the congrats.

It does, Baker, because they’re not drinkers and this is in honor of them. But, by all means, bring your own libations. chuckles I may just do that, it’s a great place to learn, after all. Who knows, she just might meet him some day. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Jill. BLUSH I’m sure she’ll be even sweeter and kinder, considering her mom, grandma and grandpa and the rest of the family. Yes, she’s truly a blessing!!!

LOL! Thanks for that image, Munch. I’ll suggest it. What big cow, btw? I haven’t been to Janesville in several years. The proud grandparents actually live a little west of there.

Hey PB, congrats on the new little one. She is a cutie for sure.

I think I will go over and get something to eat and of course, something to drink.

All I can say is ** GOD IS GOOD ** :slight_smile:

19

Oh, yes! I almost forgot! Thanks, maiden for reminding me. And thank you very much. I quite agree with you. I have some of the first pics of the cutie, but no clue how to post them on here. If anyone can help, I’d be happy to forward the pics to you in an email so they can be enjoyed by all.

Oh, dear. It fell off the front page already?! I’m losing my touch. Ok, I brought some more munchies and drinks to party with, and more candy cigars to hand out. And, isn’t there anyone interested in seeing this beautiful bundle of joy? <And her equally beautiful mother and aunt, of course.>

Now can you find it, VB? :wink:
