When I was looking at Ben's baby album, I was reminded of everyone who came to visit, and who we visited, to share in the joy of our new bundle of love. I was also reminded of the loved ones who have passed away since then--Grandma Jean (Scott's mom), Grandma Mo (Jean's mom Doris), Granny Great (Mo's mom Marion), and the Great Grandmas on my side, Rose and Jeanette.
Ben was born on August 31, 1996 at 11:22 a.m. When I said happy birthday to him this morning he said "not yet." It wasn't the exact time!

Doesn't Scott look a bit like Kramer?
