Westminster Confessions

I just couldn’t resist. This is an unretouched (really!) photo of my newest grandchild. What more can I say?

OK, I’m counting on the fact that pictures are worth a thousand words…. this link will take you to some pictures of Seámus Edwyn and his family… nothing fancy, no titles, etc. Most everything is self-explanatory. The midwives (Jill and Tracy) are also in some of the photos (Jill has dark hair and glasses, Tracy [...]

Today, August 22, 2004, at 2:15 pm little Seámus Edwyn Walden entered the world. He is a big boy: 9 lbs 11 ounces! Hannah and the baby are doing very well. I’ll post more after everyone gets settled a little bit.

watching Moose (OK, we only saw one in the yard)

Painting Éva’s toes “pretty” (as she calls them) with nailpolish (it took Hannah almost a whole day to [...]

I have spent more than 8 hours (so far) this week on the phone with our new phone carrier (I’ll leave their name out of this for now…. but it does have a “V” in it). Let’s just say that some customer service and technical support people are more creative problem-solvers than others. We are [...]
