Yes, we have a new baby in the family. Eleanor Grace Klentzman came into the world December 17, 2008. She and her mom did great. Jennifer had a C-section with Mia, and natural childbirth experience with Eleanor...........you will have to ask her which she would prefer with child # 3. I think they must both have their ups and downs. I was amazed at how good Jennifer looked after natural childbirth. I never saw a picture of me looking that good after labor and delivery! I think she looks wonderful!
Mia was the most precious thing when she first saw her new baby sister. The look on her face, and the soft touch of her little hands on that tiny new face and the love in her eyes just made me swell up with tears. Oh how I hope she always feels that way! I did not get that Kodak moment caught on camera, however, we did get Mia later, running around in her usual crazy Mia way playing with her mom's labor ball!
Mom and baby came home from the hospital the next afternoon. Catherine had made a "Welcome Home Eleanor" sign that we put on the front of their house (sorry, no photo), and she and Mia and I cooked and cleaned and played all day, preparing for their arrival.
Right now, we still have a little "alien" look about us, but, if I have my way, she will look like her mom and be a beautiful little girl. (not saying here that Rex is a bad looking guy, just have my prejudices on wanting Jennifer to have a baby who favors her this time!) Besides, this is my blog and I can say what I want to! :-)
Oh, and one final thought about the blog. I suppose I need to rename it.........I know have two granddaughters, and I won't keep separate blogs about them........I like the "perfectly Mia" part, because, well, she is no one but herself and she is a perfect Mia (she is not perfect, just perfect at being herself....oh, sometimes I confuse even myself)............any how, if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to submit them. Maybe I should offer some "prize" for the winner?!?
Coming soon.............Skooter bunny moves in

I have no idea what you could rename the blog. I'll think about it!
