These are pictures of Ayden Craig, my new grandson. The bottom photo is of him only 11 minutes old. The other is a little later in the nursery. He was born Tuesday, October 20, 2010, at 3:12 PM. He is doing well and so is Mom and Dad.Saturday, October 24, 2009

Return to Posting
It has been over a year since I have posted on this blog. I don't know if anyone if following it, but I apoligize for the lack of posting. Right now, we are eagerly awaiting the birth of our 3rd grandchild, Ayden Craig, aka Baby Coconut, a name given him by his big sister, Alyson. He is due on Monday, October 19th. I keep telling my daughter, Missy, that he is coming today. She said she is definitely ready. The doctor measured little Ayden on Thursday and says he is 8 lbs. 6 oz. If he doesn't come before, the doctors will induce labor on Tuesday, October 20th. His big sister, Alyson, is anxious to meet her little brother and his Dad, Zach, is also.
A few months ago, my wife, Brenda, finally retired, after working for church offices for 20+ years. She hasn't been able to do all the things she wanted to do due to anemia. She is taking iron supplements and treatments now and is doing much better. I told her she is becoming re-domesticated, cooking wonderful meals and taking care of me. I am still working, eventhough I have been eligible for retirement for about 6 years (30 years with local government). I feel I am getting the urge to be home with Brenda, so maybe, Dec 2010, will be my time for retirement if our budget goes well. Brenda has numerous projects she has planned for me, now and after retirement.
I have a good friend, John, who is struggling with depression after losing a textile job he had been working at for 26 years. Please pray for John that healing would come to him and he can return to the "John" that we know and love.
The slow economy has destroyed many lives through the loss of jobs and businesses. To quote Ross Perot, when he was running for President," If we sign this NAFTA agreement, we will hear this huge sucking sound as our jobs go out of the country." This has been so true. It baffles me that a product can be produced, packaged and shipped half-way around the world and still be cheaper than producing it in the good ole USA. The products can't be of good quality. Just look at all the recalls on electrical and electronic products that come out of China.
It is Saturday morning and I am being lazy. It is 10:20 and I haven't done anything but eat breakfast and drink my coffee. I hope to post a photo of my new grandson in the next few days.
