Life... Catch me if you can!

Life has a way of getting away from us. Days fly by. We get lost for hours on the Internet "surfing". We sit and watch TV for hours and comment about how "there is nothing on". One minute our children are babies and the next minute we are grandparents! That is exactly what happened to us just one month ago. Meet our first grandson, Ethan. Isn't he the cutest thing you ever saw! (and the smartest too). On June 2ND we jumped in the car and drove 14hrs (in 12!) to be there when he was born. (missed it by "that much") We got there in time to hold him when he was just a few hours old! He was due on May 20th and that put some scheduling challenges in the works for us. You see, we were closing on our house here in Maine on the 14th and had to be out of the rental house by the 1st of June. The new house needed some painting done before we moved in and we were feverishly working to complete it before the blessed event. Fortunately for us (but not his mother) he was very content where he was. We stayed for a week and it was so hard to leave. But our friends here in Maine were holding the motorcycle, VW bug and the dog for ransom so that we would come back! So we packed up and headed back home. Home. Isn't that a great word. Who would think a 4 letter word could invoke such warm fuzzies. It was so good to get back home. Finally I felt like life might slow down and I might catch my breath. And maybe, just maybe I might have a little normality back. NAH! oh, well.
