Family News



Ethan Cyr Osborne was born this afternoon in Columbia. I arrived just in time to hold him before he was taken to the nursery for the weigh in and clean up. Our fourth grandchild weighed 8 lbs and 11 oz. and appears to be quite healthy. Tonight Ron and I get to take care of big brother, William, all by ourselves. Mama did leave us detailed instructions about what we are to do. Ron will be on grandpa duty for the next few days while this grandma works. Times have changed.

Yesterday, I learned that my brother-in-law's first set of chemo treatments have been quite effective. They will continue, but have been adjusted to allow John and Mary to visit us the last week of March. I pray that we will have some warm, sunny days while they are here. They need them.

What a blessed week!

Good news abounds! It must have been hard to leave Ron to have all of the fun. Know that you and all of your family, both the very new and those whose bodies are not so new, are in our prayers.
