California baby news......

Aloha my dear OFF family,

I'm here in Scotts Valley, Ca. and FINALLY figured out how to get online on my DIL's computer. It has been beyond BUSY around here for the past week!

I arrived Friday and my DIL was supposed to be induced on Monday morning, but they got to the hospital and there were no beds, so they had to come home...bummmer!

Tues. morning she was induced and THREE HOURS later out pops little Mr. Zane Davies Siechen!! He weighs 7 lbs. 14 oz. and is a little doll with all his parts and not a flaw that I can see. My DIL is doing great, and they are on their way home from the hospital right now. I have my two little grandsons, Brock (3) and Brady (2) all dressed and ready to meet their baby brother.

Let me tell you....I am SO HAPPY that I am 150 something lbs. less than Iwas two years ago, but now I CAN run after kids, get down on the floor and wrestle, go for hours on end with chores, chores, chores and not collapse until bedtime.

I've missed you all so much, and am so glad to finally be back on with you.

So much more to tell, but I need to do a few things befor the grand arrival.....balloons, etc.!!

Aloha for now.......

Maui Karen (in raceland Calif..where the traffic is a NIGHTMARE!)

Karen, I am so happy to hear that all is going well, that Zane has all his moveable parts and that they appear to be a perfect working order!  I'm sure Brock and Brady are giving Tutu Karen a run for the money, but I'm also sure based on your post that you are enjoying your ability to do, do and do some more!
