Just a quickie: the flight over to Seattle was pleasant and uneventful. We're glad we decided to come over before the due date, because the baby arrived a week early! Mother and baby are doing fine, and we are headed out to Trader Joe's to pick up food for the hungry crew. It's all good.

Sometimes I wonder if it's the counting of the weeks that is wrong rather than early- and late-arriving babies. It's an inexact science.

Hank: I figure is full term, because her birthweight was 9 pounds. She does not sound like a newborn but already has a very loud cry.

NINE POUNDS? That is heavy! Congratulations to the new Mom and grandparents!

Gigi: Thanks, Gigi. All my grandkids have been over eight pounds, but this little girl sets the record.
