Introducing Shaun Edward McDaniel




Yes our new Grandson, born April 4, 2009, to our daughter Devon Rose and his sister Lexus Elena...he is 20" and 7 pounds 4 oz. you wouldn't think he's that size when you see his HUGE hands...the boy can easily be either a basketball player or a pianist. Jennifer arrived in San Diego on Monday and got to bring them home on Tuesday...Mom and son are doing great, the young man has an unbelievable amount of jet black hair, just like his big sis, (who BTW is gowing up so big now) and Lexus I'm told, is being a great big help to mom...loving and taking good care of her little brother...I wonder when she's going to ask to take him to school...LOL.

Devon will be coming out our way in June so we all can see our new addition...Devon once again is very blessed with a quiet child...Lexus was the same way, hardly ever fussed and I guess the "little man" is the same way...

Introducing - RILEY!



Well I got the new pup this past week. He came home on the 7th of April at just barley over 8 weeks, weighing in at 14.2 pounds...and BTW had his first Dr. appointment 3 days later and on that day weighed in at 15.4. The Pup is going to grow fast...Jennifer happens to be in San Diego at this time too, we have an even bigger news event happening there...OUR NEW GRANDSON was born on Saturday the 4th of April...Handsome young man too...WHEW what a week.

So I'm here alone with a new puppy, I have a hard enough time getting up in the middle of the night with Jen here waking me, now it's up to me on my own...pitty the poor puppy....LOL...we survived, just three nights together and he's making it through the night, he runs to the front door first thing in the morning, good boy! Really keeps me occupied...up and playing non-stop for 1.5 to 2 hours, then he's out for about the same amount of time, ahhh nap time...my time to get things done...

Needless to say, have only ridden the bike this past Sunday, and no gym visits since a week ago Sunday. Really need to get to the gym, miss it...when Jen gets back we can share the load...I know she'll think differently though...LOL.

Riley is such a suitable name, he has really grown into it...he shows signs of stubborness, definently trying to be the Alpha, already alpha over our Daughters dog Leo, it's hilarious...he's very much a puppy, constantly chewing...have lots of toys for him to help distract and substitute for all the blankets, chair legs, clothes, carpet, etc....but the toys just aren't as fun....I know he can't replace Sweetie, we sure still miss her, but Riley is filling the quiet space we've had, he is going to be special too...and keep us on our toes for sure...Jennifer comes home late tonight, can't wait to introduce the two, I think she's really going to love Riley and visa-versa....
