We are grandparents!  A bit before 10am, I got a text from Alex that he and Claire were at the hospital, and at 3:26pm, I got another text that the baby had arrived and Mother, Baby and Dad were all doing well.  At 3:33pm, I got an email from Claire as well – now I hope you are relaxing!

Today was Davids first full day at the Jewish Home, and we saw the Physical and Occupational Therapists in the morning and then in the afternoon.  It was a day for assessments, so there wasn’t too much work, but he did some walking, sitting up, putting shoes on and off, and got his new wheelchair.  We also took a stroll to the garden out back, and sat for about half an hour.  It was great to get out in the fresh air.

In the afternoon we had a visit from Betsy Downes and her daughter, which was terrific and thanks for the gifts – the pastries were a nice finish to dinner tonight for David!  We were then joined by Peter and Mary Clute, and had a very nice visit with all.  Davids reputation for visitors has begun!  He was a little emotional today, and maybe it is a combination of the baby, new surroundings and new therapists, but I think he will be better tomorrow.

Now for some pictures of the happy family and Dad and Son.
