They’re Here!!

It all started in the early morning hours of Aug. 29th with a phone call from our daughter Kristine,  “Mom, my water just broke”.  She was due in October, we were having a baby.  A few hours later our first grandchild Brian Knight was born weighing in at just over 5 lbs. but he was healthy and we were thrilled.  He is beautiful, my husband and I were lucky enough to make a mad dash trip down to see him.
