Oh, Bob, congratulations on that one-week-old! Oh mercy, that poor kid and his mother!
Um...are the Ravens some kind of team?

Um...are the Ravens some kind of team?

They are an alleged football team from Baltimore (and Cleveland), but after their performance on Sunday your question becomes more philosophical than factual. Sorry for the sports joke, but I coudn't resist. I will be sorrier if the Steelers do anything like the damage they did to the Ravens to my beloved Patriots this week.

And hearty congratulations to all the recent grandparents. If you enjoy your grandchildren half as much as Abigail's grandparents enjoy her you will be in for some real fun! By the way, Abby will be a year old in February, but I remember posting news of her birth here like it was yesterday...

Well, Grandpa Bob, you have neglected your obligation to promptly notify us all of the additions to your family. Nevermind, it is now rectified.

Congrats to the entire Youngbalt family.

Yes congratulations to both the new grandmother and grandfather. It is a precious time for you both. I am ever grateful that my son still has the gift of two grandmothers (Grand-mère and Grand-maman Dion) one grandfather (Grand-père) and one great-grandmother (Granny).

When I was young we called one grandmother Mamie and the other Granny (yes same one as above. I called her that once and the name stuck, now everybody calls her that - but in a French accent )
