Please join me in celebrating the arrival of Simon Benjamin at 10:54 PM, April 25, 2009!
:bounce:
His dad was working at the USAF air show when mom went into labor. Looks as though he will follow in the footsteps of his great granddad, granddad and dad with aeronautical ambitions! At least on the day of his birth. ;)

Congratulations on the arrival of Simon, I'm sure he'll be bringing a large amount of love to the family.
This song came to mind!
Up, Up And Away
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon We could float among the stars together, you and I For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon Suspended under a twilight canopy We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us If by some chance you find yourself loving me We'll find a cloud to hide us We'll keep the moon beside us Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon Balloon... Up, up, and away.....
:loveya:

You sound so proud. Maybe your grandson will have astronomical, not aeronautical, ambitions. It is so hard to figure out what the newest generation will be doing 20 years from now.

I'm so happy to report that the parents compromised on their two biggest disagreements (one of which wouldn't have been an issue with a 'girl' ;) ) My DIL is from Finland and they are a very peaceful people.

Son sent a short video of Simon crying, but he stops when he hears Dad's voice :cry: I never expected to be this happy. Honestly never could figure what all the grandma'ma excitement was about. :D But, now, BTDT!

This is so exciting! You will find that it is absolutely wonderful being a grandmother. You get to have fun with the little ones, with very little of the day-to-day worries that a parent has.
Hopefully, if you feel ok about it, you will post pics. New babies are so very yummy!

I will post when I get one that doesn't have him covered in goo :D or taped up. Haven't seen one with him dressed yet. Unfortunately, they are in NC and I don't know how much I'll get to be around him :(

46. I lived for 8 years in the Pittsburgh area |
|
During the very time that my first grandbabies were being born. I had moved there for a job, and, it lasted nearly 8 years.
Long story short -- I decided that I could not stand being away from my kids and grandkids anymore (all in the NYC metro area), and, it turns out that I was being laid off anyway, and there was my opening.
I am so grateful for moving back where they are, Why Syzygy.
Perhaps this will happen for you also. If not, I know some "grandmas" that know how to manipulate their families to come and visit THEM.

47. They usually make it to town |
|
about 2-3 times a year. My son's dad still has flight benefits from American, so I'm plotting to get him to allow me one of them. About a year ago, Son was trying for a transfer to Italy because they "miss Europe"! So, I won't complain about NC! Ideal situation would be for him to come back to a base in TX. Her parents are in Finland, so it could be MUCH worse.
I'm glad your situation worked out so well :hug:

I can't wait to ask them about the name.. how they chose it. I am certainly beginning to find out what all the grandparent excitement is about!
See post above to IHAD and get a look at those planets!

I haven't spoken to mom yet. Son called from Wendy's about half hour after birth. Mom was HUNGRY! :) He stayed overnight at the hospital. I'm guessing they'll go home tomorrow.

It's a pretty special feeling, isn't it? Son has been able to stay overnights in the maternity 'suite' (whatever), so they are sharing a special bonding experience. He is one of those who serve, and I refrain from thinking about when he has to go back down range in the fall. Keep hoping they will find him a function stateside.

Thanks, Callie. There is something to names I read a long time ago. His dad's name has three "en" combinations in it, and now Simon BENjamin does too. Also, I think "Ben" is "son" in Hebrew?
