Amazing people who live in Minnesota

So I'm waiting for the bus home on Thursday, the temperature fluctuates between 3 and 4 degrees Fahrenheit and I laugh! Was it really today that people at work were excited that it was warmer today? Yes, the people who live in Minnesota are definately one of a kind! After low temperatures and wind chills that plummetted the surrounding areas of Minneapolis to -30 degrees Fahrenheit for awhile, people are excited that it is now 3 and 4 degrees F. Spring is just three and a half months away (if we are lucky!) and tomorrow and Sunday, snow.

So ... the Vital Statistics ...

Elizabeth took this photo this week. Quinn's eyes are turning a lighter blue ... so we assume that he will have the same colour as Elizabeth, David, my mum and myself. Unless they do a double take of course and turn brown. Isn't he gorgeous? Grandma is having cuddle withdrawal this week. We just need some technology like the transporter on Star Trek and then that would solve the distance issue with Elizabeth and Quinn and my family back in England.

So for of those of you who don't yet know, Quinn was born on the 2nd January, 2009; weighing in at 6lbs 15.8oz's; and having a length of 20 1/4 inches. So he was three weeks old yesterday. His full name is Quinn David Bracken. He was blessed on the 11th January in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. He is such a sweetheart!

Life as A Grandma is Wonderful!

I wish that I could have taken him home in my suitcase! Quinn is just the perfect size for cuddling. I couldn't resist smelling the wonderful baby smell and kissing his soft skin. He has a lovely nature and seems to enjoy taking everything in. Within ten days he was rolling onto his side! I couldn't believe it! He seems to absorb all sights, sounds and touches like a sponge.
