Our third grandson was born on September 2. His name is Bennett James. He weighed 7#12oz. And was 20 1/2 inches long. He is so adorable and I have to wait a whole month before I get to hold him and kiss his little chubby cheeks. We Skyped the other night so I got to watch him for a little while. That trip to Texas is going to feel so long and we only get to stay for a week, but it's better than nothing. This is our only son's first child and he was so proud! He's going to be a great dad!

Congrats! a month will fly by and you will have him in your arms.

Skype is wonderful...you will be able to watch him grow during this month that you have to wait.

Congratulations - so happy for you! I just became an "associate Grandma" (my boyfriends daughter and her husband just had their first baby) so I can understand your excitement. The distance would be tough though - you'll get lots of use with Skype-ing........Enjoy!

Congratulations!!! Glad you get to go see your new grandson. That skype is a wonderful invention for those that can't be close to their families. Not the same as being there in person, but allows you to communicate and watch them grow.

It will fly by as I still have to make his quilt! I haven't even started it yet. When I get home from the lake, I'll have 20 days to get all my stuff done before we leave. I don't know if I'll even have time to sleep!
