I'm back!

Well hello again. What's that I hear...you missed me? No way! I haven't been gone that long have I? Oh well yes it has been almost a month!! Well you know how it is, no computer, no posting!!! So do you want to know what I've been up too? You do! That's great! I'm so excited.
On August 26th I made the long trip to Spokane to be with my daughter and her husband for the birth of their second child. This baby was due to be born on September 6th via C-section, but decided that since Grandma came early to see mommy than she wanted to see Grandma early too! Charlotte Ellery Stillar decided to appear a mere 6 hours after Grandma got there. Boy was I glad I had decided to go early!! Ely, as her parents are calling her, was born on August 27th at 12:30am. She was 3 weeks early (from her due date) and weighed in at 6 lbs. 15oz. and was actually about 21 inches although her hospital record says 18 1/2 inches ( at her two week appointment they measured her 3 times at 21 inches and decided she had been mismeasured at the hospital). She has LOTS of curly hair that is the same color as her mom and dad's. She went through about a week of jaundice and then things started looking up. I was there for three weeks and enjoyed loving on her and her big brother Aidyn. They are both precious little loves.
I am very glad to be home though. I really missed my handsome hubby and everyone here. I think he kinda missed me too!!! Anyway it is great to be back and I will post some pictures at a later date.
