Mike,
I have couple boxes of diapers (infant size I believe) my grandson couldn't use.  They're yours if you want them.  They are sitting in my garage collecting dust.

Michael,
I still have a couple of boxes of diapers for you.  I am guessing you are not going to D-Town on the 19th, so do any of the guys who are going to D-Town  live near you?

I doubt I will beable to go unless maybe I can borrow my brothers XJ, mine will still be torn down. If not maybe if Mark goes I can hook up with him afterwards. Thanks the more I can get the better cause I have a good feeling the Jeep want be seeing as many new parts while in the diaper stages. {toast}

Well since Averie will be here in 5 weeks I figured I better get her room done before my wife subs it out to another contractor. {hihi}

I'm just happy she's going to be so grounded and not spoiled.  

A little part of what I do is involved with Child Safety and Blinds every day.  I can't see your window shade but go cordless everywhere if you can.

Yeah we're home now and everyone is fine.  Kelli just had a fever and her blood pressure went up during delivery so they wanted to make certain lil Averie didn't get an infection.

Glad to hear it... Now it'll be "up all nights" for a while.  I thought those would end when my kids grew up, but I am still in the "get woke up a couple times a night" stage since my daughter and grandson are living with me.  He has started walking though, albiet just a few steps at a time.  Hopefully he'll be fully walking within the next couple weeks so Grandpa can take him outside to play.

Sorry for the highjack, but kids are GREAT!!!

Enjoy!!  {toast}
