being able to Skype now and seeing the grandkids! My wonderful DIL gave us a webcam for my birthday and my equally wonderful SIL installed it for me last night.

They have a little hair, which seems to be dark and long legs ( Read more... )

The twins arrived today! The girl, aka 'C-Bear', arrived first, and weighed in at a little over 4lbs. She was 16 inches long. Her brother, who arrived a minute later, (and who I'm calling 'Bruiser') weighed 7 lb, 4 oz, and was 19.25 inches long. Mind you, their due date was next month! But they're both fine and didn't even have to go to the ( Read more... )
