RE: OT - Vaccines

I've had the joy of a grand daughter.. I get all the joy and can hand her back to my daughter when I'm done.

Her husband decided this wasn't for him, so she is with us. That's another story... grumble....

But, I get to see her pretty much every day... She'll be 3 months on the 23rd.

And when her eyes latch onto mine, she's ALWAYS got a smile for me. Even when grumpy she smiles and gives me a "whine". And grandpa is second only to her mommy at being able to put her to sleep.

And I look young enough no one believes that I'm Rachel's dad... I'm not old enough... :-) (I've been 39 now for almost 11 years.)

And I have pics on the web page. :-)

Thank goodness it's off-topic Friday.
