And Now for the News

I learned this morning that I am now a grandmother. My son and his wife (well, her mostly!) have had a baby boy whom they have named Ethan Alexander. He weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces, was 21 1/4 inches long and he came into the world at 11:01 pm Monday evening.

There has been some discussion as to what I wish to be called by my first grandchild. I rather like Nana, as my favorite "She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Disobeyed" was deemed a bit cumbersome for a small child to say.

Now please excuse me while I go and try to figure out when I got older.
