      Haven't read all of this but sounds like Congrats are in order again! That's wonderful. We just got back from Minneapolis trip to see our new grandson. It wasn't an easy trip but it was still worth seeing him. Too little and hooked up to too much but it was still very exciting--he's just wonderful. Janet
