Mississippi in June!

Hot, hot and hotter!  Things are steaming up in Mississippi - hot weather is here to stay!  But, that isn't the news - the news is the birth of my new grandson, Declan Porter Schaadt, today at 1153hrs.  Gillian went into labor early this morning and had a relatively short labor (compared to Owen).  The only problem is that I was supposed to be there!  My flight is scheduled for Wednesday - what happened to our perfect planning? 
    I am very excited about the trip especially since the hard work is over - so to speak!  Now I have two lovely grandsons - how lucky am I!  Gillian is feeling well and resting.  They don't call it labor for nothing!
BTW - I love the name - Declan (deck-lan).  I looked it up and it is Irish.  Back in the 15th century there was an Irish Saint Declan.  A good omen maybe?  

Must go and contemplate...  Later.
