Another visit to our newest grandson

Yes, it's another gushy baby post!   Can you blame me? He gets more and more handsome every day, and he's only on his second day of being in this world!

First off though, we woke up to SNOW! ARGGGHHHHH!!!!

We got about 4-5 slushy inches of it, and it's still there tonight as I write this. Hopefully the temps will warm up this weekend to melt it all GONE!

Allegra and I trekked through it this morning, on down to Green Bay.  Our first stop was at the little florist shop on 9th St, (Parmentiers) as we try to keep our business local with small owners, rather than big chain stores.  While they were making up some pretty blue flowers and balloons, the nice lady gave little Allegra a pink carnation of her very own!  Now THAT is caring about your customers!

Allegra wrote a letter to her baby brother, Mason.  She put it in an envelope, licked it shut and decorated it!   Here is Daddy reading the letter to Mason, with Allegra proudly looking on.

Mommy gave Allegra a ride up and down on this crazy hospital bed!! Don't ALL kids love to do that? (and some grownups too?)

The little guy's toes are very very long, as are his fingers too.  Allegra had to check them all out, and count them, making sure there are 10 of each.  Daddy Dan is showing the keepsake footprints on the back of the hospital birth certificate.  How cute is that?

Allegra got to goof around in the baby basinette, 

doing a bit of luge racing.  LOL 

(the nurses let her do it!) 

And of course she got in some kisses for her baby brother too.

 And yes, Granmuddah never would pass up a chance to cuddle a sweet new baby....

After we said our goodbyes, Allegra and I went over to see cousin Jameson.  He needed a babysitter today for a couple hours because his regular sitter was on vacation.  Allegra and Jameson were learning new dance moves on some video game.. which worked them up into a frenzy before nap time.  Heather left for work and I had to calm down two crazy pre-schoolers.   (Thanks Heather, for doing that!) 

But Granmuddah worked her magic and soon had them BOTH napping, 

and the two cats too!  Whew what a day.  

Tomorrow Allegra goes back home to join up with 

her Mommy, Daddy and new baby brother!

Then waiting any day for Erin and Mark to go into labor next,

while Chelsea gets to come and hang out with us too! 

Grandson on the Way! (updated: HE'S HERE!!)

(from this morning)

On the way!!!!

Dan just called this morning, he and Mommy Heather are heading to the hospital!   Our newest grandson will be born today!!!

(this next part added later) 

Yes!   Our little grandson, Mason Paul Pfundtner is now here, 

safe and sound, healthy and happy! 

Boy oh boy does Mommy Heather ever look GREAT for just delivering that bundle of joy
only a few short hours before this pic was taken!

Big sister Allegra was so proud to show us her new baby brother! 

We had the chance to cuddle him and snuggle him and admire him while his mommy and daddy beamed on in pleasure.  Big Sister Allegra watched warily as Granmuddah held him, as if she didn't think he was safe enough in my arms!   Such a good protective sister----

We took her home to our house for the next two nights till they bring the baby home...  so we can spoil her and give her some special big girl attention too.

When we got home, we found our newest toys at the door from Amazon... 

I will write more about them tomorrow, but just sayin' ---- they work GREAT!!!
