Baby Sidney

Just to let everyone know our new family member is just what we all were hoping for. Healthy, Handsome and he appears to be Happy. I know his parents are. And how attentive those parents are, they were trying to keep the little guy awake so he would sleep at night. (Lucky me) Do you think that will work? Any way I was happy to watch them interact with their little one. Good Job Ryan and Krista!! I arrived just in time to witness a bath given by Grandma Sheila. What Fun! Sid has the perfect little shaped head and he is Very Alert. He maintained eye contact very very well for an infant so young. He even followed my face with his eyes when I moved. He has beautiful skin tone. And yes you do want to just eat him up he's so sweet. This is one Great Aunt that is very impressed. Looking forward to watching his personality blossom.

I was TAGGED!!

5 things people may not know about me.

1. I went to 13 different schools. 3 were kindergarten, I started school in Chicago, we moved to East Chicago briefly with Grandpa and Grandma Criswell where I had the same Kindergarten teacher as my mom! When we moved to Gary, I finished Kindergarten and started 1st grade. I went to 3 different High Schools, Mesa High, Globe High, and graduated from Westwood High.

2.I like to paint walls, IF I can do it at my own pace---slowly. Making my own stencils is most enjoyable.

3. I daydream alot, especially when reading the Victoria Magazine. I'm so glad it is being published again. I have years of back issues I just cannot part with.

4. I would love to visit New York City, which may surprise some because I am basically a country girl at heart. First I would visit the Watchtower Tract and Bible Society in Brooklyn. Then I would head over to Arthur Ave in the Bronx Little Italy. I understand the whole street is filled with Italian Food Deli, markets and Resturants. I can taste it right now in my imagination and the streets filled with Italians how interesting! I would like to visit an Italian speaking congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Then, I would look for that "Cash Cab" and take a ride in it for at least 40 blocks. (It's a game show in this guys cab, have you seen it? It's on the discovery channel) And I would definitely want to see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Empire State Building.

5. I do not do well in cloudy or overcast weather. It makes me very depressed and sad. I LOVE bright sunshiny days.
