Gini of course i will be sharing with PT, you won't beable to hold me back, we have a while to wait yet, he is due on October 25th day after my niece's birthday.

Actually what I meant was - be sure to "share him" with the other relatives......awfully hard to pass him on once he reaches your arms.

Congratulations!

I love the family story of my mother's birth. Mom was the first baby of her generation, and both her parents were from families of eight children. When Ma was born, and the news reached the gathered family, the youngest uncle, Jimmy, went around the room saying "Well, now you're Aunt Gladys, and you're Aunt Tidsy, and you're Uncle Tige, and you're Aunt Evelyn," etc., until he came to their aunt, and said "And now you're Great Aunt Flora!" and she was furious with him for making her feel old!

So when we were kids we were instructed to simply call her Aunt Flora, even though she was our great-great-aunt! She still had a fair sprinkling of red in her hair into her 90s, and lived to 106.
