Dave, congrats. My mother-in-law says the nice thing about being a grandparent is that you can give 'em back to the parents.

Thank You!

Thank you all for the kind words! I had already started to spoil her about 2 weeks ago and won't stop! I am really looking forward to spending a lot of time with her and the next ones whenever they arrive.

Carol, I should have called you this morning as I was driving past Solana Beach around 9:30 to see if you would be up for a cup of coffee. I will be driving out there again this Sunday so you may get a call from me.
