Hayden Clara Salley was born on Tuesday, May 27, 2008. She weighed 8 pounds 12 ounces and was 21 inches long. The nurse who measured her said she was "off the charts" in regards to her length. I guess she is tall like her daddy. Ginny is recovering nicely, and the pediatrician said the baby was perfect.
Congrats you two - can't wait to meet her!!
So next while I'm posting about other people, I also had to share a story from my mom about her mom, my grandma decker. Now you can all see that I come by my strange stories and get into honestly!! :) P.S. - while you're reading, keep in mind she's 90 years young!!
You know how we turned moms car port into a garage? She was hurrying to get to Sunday school forgot her keys and locked herself in the garage. You really should hear her tell it, she's hysterical! Her thought process was amazingly clear. She remembered Dad told her to pull the cord to release the door. Unfortunately , even after SWINGING on said cord it didn't work. First thought was there's a faucet. I can live for days without food as long as I have water. She thought she could with existing tools take out part of the wall dad just built to get to the brick wall. I know I could take out some of those old brick!. Worst case I have my lipstick, I can write HELP on the garage door windows. An hours contemplation later she decided to try it again. Much SWINGING, prying etc. it finally released! But the story doesn't end there. Late to church, someone else was sitting in "her seat". After church she couldn't find her car because of course someone got "her" parking space and she had to park way down the hill out back. As she was standing there frustrated, the same two women that took her seat came by an asked to help. After several more minutes looking, she remembered she had parked on the opposite side. That was quite a morning for her and she really got a good laugh at herself. How I love to see her laugh!
This story made my day - not because grandma had a tough time - but because I can absolutely picture it all and love her sense of humor and (not to mention her sense of survival)!! I miss you grandma!!! Oh, and congrats on finally getting out! ;)
Ok I promise next post will be more about Seattle and the new condo...but for now, suffice it to say that I continue to barely stay afloat at work - it's SUPER BUSY, especially since I'm new and still learning, and I still don't have internet at my condo which limits being able to work some from home... So not that it's a good excuse, but hopefully it atleast explains why I've been horrible about posting and email. Add to that the late nights at work and a 3 hour time difference, well I just really need to get better about communications.... Sorry guys I'll try I promise! :)
Love and miss you all,
-e :)
