CHARLIE, week 1

I'm in love.....

Grandchild #6 is fantastic - just like the first five! I'm one proud Grandma!!!
























CHARLIE IS HERE!!!

Our sweet Baby Charlie was born on Saturday July 9, 2011 at 12:24am. 
He weighed 8lbs, 3oz and was 21" long.  He has lots of blonde hair, dimples on both cheeks and is so stinkin' cute!!!!!
These are photos of Charlie taken in the hospital on Sunday morning with his Mama & Daddy, Chantell & Brian, when he was only about 9 hours old.

(Im)patiently waiting.....

Are you coming tonight, Charlie??  I'm so anxious to meet you and hold you!  We're all ready for you to come - especially your Mommy & Daddy!  Today is your 'official' due date but so far you don't seem to want to make your first appearance yet.  So I guess you're just not ready.  

That's OK, I can be patient.....

TWINS - Zach's girlfriend, Emily!

This is a neat story about my nephew Zach's girlfriend, Emily Mathison, which appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper.  There are 9 sets of twins graduating from the same high school!

Emily and Sarah Mathison are among nine sets of twins set to graduate from Valhalla High School this year.

Seeing double

Graduation at Valhalla High School will be extra special this year when nine sets of twins take to the stage to receive their diplomas. The twins — four sets of which are identical — are among the 500 seniors graduating from the high school in El Cajon next week. Sisters Emily and Sarah Mathison are the salutatorians. They delivered a tongue-in-cheek speech at Senior Awards Night on May 26, each taking a contrary position on the trials and triumphs of high school. Among the duos going to identical colleges are Caitlin and Courtney Dorner, headed to the University of California Irvine; Anthony and Nicholas Marino, future Aztecs at San Diego State University; the Mathisons, bound for the University of California Los Angeles; and Giovanni and Diego Vaiasuso, staying local at Cuyamaca College.
