It's A Boy!


This week we were blessed with our second grandchild - another boy.  His name is Dane Robert and of couse we think he's the most handsome boy in the world - tied with his big brother for that title ;)  We couldn't be more proud and happy grandparents!  He was born on an extraordinarily beautiful day on March 13, when the planets Venus and Jupiter were creating a dazzling optical illusion in the sky, looking like they were only two fingers apart from Earth, and, during one of the warmest late winters on record which has bulbs blooming here earlier than I can remember.

I think the number 13 is a very lucky number for us!

Joy! Congratulations to all of you. He's a very handsome baby. I saw those same planets aligned and figured something special was occurring. I hope those little boys are close enough for you to cuddle and spoil.

Best,
Bonnie
