This is my pond after a MAJOR re-construction job this summer. After the vinyl liner failed on my beloved pond, I had to completely re-do the pond. Instead of just replacing the liner, I completely reconstructed the pond out of concrete. It's going to take a while for the plants to recover on the perimeter of the pond, but when they do, the pond itself will look better and darn well better last longer! The whole re-construction project probably took me about two months, total. Hopefully, it will have been worth it in the end. Whew!

Now that's a trusting face, isn't it? Little Ethan Andrew White, laying on his grandad's lap, as peaceful as it gets. They're home now, and everyone's doing great! Welcome home!

This is "Granna", getting good at spoiling a new one!

Baby Ethan, doing what he does best! Sleeping! His mother Erin is very thankful for this!

Mom Erin, after 3 extra days in the hospital running a temperature of 104 degrees! She's finally through all that and home safe! Thank you to everyone for your prayers!

Welcome to the world, Ethan Andrew White, born July 27th, 10:06am, 7lbs 7.7oz. He's a keeper!

We believe this is actually a case of infant snoring...

This gives you an idea of how tiny this little one is... He was 7lbs 7ozs, which is plenty healthy, but look at that tiny little head by my hand! And how about that little face he's making! Oooooo, keep your hand right there.... right there.... He's a cutie, isn't he?

Look at those arms behind that head! He's comfortable, isn't he? Relaxed!

Suzanne holding our new bundle, Ethan Andrew... He's so cozy! And my goodness, he does love to SLEEP!

That's me with Ethan... Proud Popcorn!
