Clayton Mitchell Jones Arrives!!!

Jess and Ben have a brand new baby. Clayton Mitchell Jones was born this evening and everyone is doing just fine. Jess handled the delivery better than anyone (including herself) expected. Clayton is 6 lbs 15 oz. and 20 inches long. It's late and everyone is tired but here's a quick shot I snapped of the happy new family!

I'm Going to be a Grandpa... TODAY!

Jessica started early signs of labor this morning at about 1:30! Ben and Jess checked into the hospital at about 8:30 this morning and I got word that she was being admitted right around 1:00 this afternoon. I'm home to grab the camera and make a quick change in cars. Just prior to me leaving the hospital the big burly med tech dude came in to administer the epidural. Jess is a few short (well, short for me I guess) hours away from being a Mommy! I can't wait to hold my grandson! I'm so excited for Ben and Jessica... they're going to make great parents. I'll post pictures of the happy family as soon as I return home.

Superbowl Sunday

Since my dad refuses to update his blog, I'll do it for him! I found an un-published draft he had, so I published that one and now it's on to this one! Penny has been slaving away all afternoon making sure that we all have PLENTY to munch on, and boy is it all good! We've been grazing and staying pretty dang full on junk food. It's been great!



The barfy couple...
Here's all the food. YUMMO!
It's still early in the night, so there is plenty more fun to come. This is just an update to let everyone know that my family is still alive and kickin!
