I couldn't talk to Lily last night because, when I called, bursting with news, there was no answer. She and hubby and boys have been refugees from Ohio winter for the past week, at a beach south of here, and, having spent the entire day in the water or on the beach, by nine o'clock they were all sound asleep!
What had I called for at such a late hour, she wondered? {It was barely a quarter to nine when I called!] Could it be to tell me we were moving to Columbus? [Something she's been campaigning for for quite a while!]
Or, wait. Had a baby been born in England?
Aha!
A boy baby?
Oh, wait until the boys hear! Her oldest, who is six [in first grade and very cool] reacted to the news by pumping his fist and saying "Yes!!"
UKGrandma went to see him today. Yes, I am wild with jealousy! But she was very good and sent pictures! Eight+ pounds of sweet baby boy perfection. And of all the days he could have been born on, he choose his mum's birthday! What a lovely birthday present!
So, now you know!

Yipee!!! How Fun! I figured maybe you were grining because you'd thought wrong with him and so it turned out the same for his baby. Not.
And if you move to Columbus, there will certainly have to be a blog meetup. And we'll get Isabelle to come too. ;-)
Congratulations All. Photos please.( do I look green? No surely not )
..Don't move, to remote to find you!
Congratulations! Well, I suppose you'll have to make a trip over there to see him, won't you? And not incidentally, check in on Rise.

Ooooh! Congrats and all that good stuff. How exciting. No wonder you are smiling on your post.
Congratulations!! :) How wonderful! If you moved to Columbus, I would love to do a blog meet up, as well! :) Sounds wonderful!
Congratulations! You'll have to visit soon, they grow so quick!
Oh you lucky person! How lovely. (Some of us are grandparents only to guinea pigs. But I'm not jealous. Much.)
If you come over to England you must come up to Scotland. It's no distance at all...
Are you going over to meet the bubsy? I hope to see a photo too.
Wonderful Congratulations.
Will you be able to travel over to meet him?
