No More Feeding Tube! He's home!

William came home, at last.

I had the privilege of seeing him at home yesterday, took some cell phone pictures that are viewable on my picasaweb album or at the modizzle William site.

Still on hold

Waiting, waiting, waiting..... This is not what I expected, having to wait and wait to see the Grandson, but the circumstances dictate that we have patience. William is making progress, but what can you ask of someone who was thrust into the world over a month sooner than expected, with systems that were not yet fully developed.

So, patience is exercised by all concerned.

Or at least by most of us.....

Grand Father? Me?

Seems the young Liam (?) [I might prefer William, Willy, Bill, Will, or Steve] must stay in the hospital for another week, since he seems unable to drink from a bottle. [Might prefer boobies, not sure.] [I know I would!]

It's quite an amazing feeling to hold your Grandson in your large and clumsy hands, feeling you might drop or squash him at any moment. So tiny, so new.

To Auntie M, may I say "Hello!" glad I was able to hear your voice, sorry we couldn't chat for a bit, but I didn't want to mess with Craig's cell phone charges.

May I also say I don't feel like a Grandfather... in fact, I feel like I am too "something" to be a grandfather [old, young, crazy, insecure, confused, reserved, whatever] Maybe a great grandfather or great uncle or ??? would be more appropriate. Might it be time to grow up?

I may have more in common with the Great Grandmother than any other family member, except possibly Auntie M, although I doubt she (either she) would see things in that light.

Anyway, proud Grandpa says "Later."

Announcing William

News!

The first Grandson was born on 7/12/08. William "Liam" Kai Moffat, At just over 7 pounds, could be considered large considering he was over a month early to arrive in this world.

Hello, World! as the programmers say.

This is the new blog at blogspot.com, which may not survive or ever be viewed, but who cares, it's fun just to be on the web, even in a small way.
