May Got Busier!
William Edgar
Meet William Edgar. He was born to our son Andy and daughter-in-law Jess on Friday evening. Here’s a picture of Dan and me with him.
William is the younger brother of Jake the Giant Baby who is now Jake the Giant Almost-Three-Year Old.
Here’s a picture of Jake taken on Mother’s Day. It’s a bit fuzzy because it is a picture of a moving amusement part ride taken with a cell phone. That’s Jake in the cab of the truck. Right now he lives for trucks and motorcycles.
William is not a giant baby. He is only about half an inch shorter than Jake was, but he weighs almost 2 pounds less. That was perfectly fine with Jess. She had a long labor with Jake and thought that she would probably have a long labor with William, so she took her time getting to the hospital. Things went faster than expected, though, so she was only in the hospital about half an hour before William joined the party. One of the nurses walked into the delivery room, looked as Jess, and said, “Aren’t you the one who just walked in?”
Everybody is doing fine. Jake is happy to be a big brother, and William seems pretty happy to be a baby.
Now we have 2 more birthdays to celebrate, and then May is over!

Yay! Congratulations!
Woo hoo!! Congratulations!
I have a friend who, apparently, was a giant baby. Whenever her dad sees a tiny baby he tells her, “You were never that small… you looked like a 6 month old.” Ha!
Congratulations
Congratulations on the new baby!
Happy, Happy Birthday Little One! What a treasure you are, your weight all in gold! (He’s a beauty). William Edgar, wow! Do you ever bring back memories to all of us as we have that special opportunity, once again, to experience all those new beginnings awaiting you! Bless you, little one!
Hugs from Sacramento, California!

Congratulations on the new addition!
RYC: It is very challenging, especially in a YO camp because very few of them want to be in school and they are the biggest whiners! But we do our best and after a while, some of them give up the fight and then, when someone gets their GED, everyone is happy. Challenging? Very. Rewarding? You bet!

How wonderful! Another new grandchild to spoil. You look like you are enjoying every moment with him in the picture. Am sure that if Jake is anything like our grands, he will be a wonderful “helper” taking care of William, and will teach him all he needs to know about how to be a real “boy”!!
Congratulations on the new grandbaby! Yayyy for you and him and his parents!
