"I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow"





We're Grandparents!


Well Rick has been for awhile but this is my first :-) Bryan and Hiba had a baby girl yesterday, March 7th. Her name is Layla Paris Simpson, weighing in at 8 lbs 11 ozs. Mommy and baby are doing perfect!

I cried uncontrollably when Bryan gave me the news while I was stuck in traffic on the 401, on the way. Oh didn't I wish I had the ability to push in on my belly button and fly over all the traffic just like I did in my dreams as a little girl. And I cried when I got to the hospital, and I cried when Rick got to the hospital and I cried when I left the hospital and I cried when I called my girlfriend Deb. It was great to be there with Rick and Shane too. Pictures to follow!

The first girl, I'm soooooo excited and happy. She's so beautiful.
