This has been a roller-coaster of a week. On 30 August Tina's mom, Jean, passed away after a long, debilitating illness. It was a pretty stressful last few years for all involved.
And yet, a few short days later, we welcomed to the world our new grandson, Eoin Michael Cotter, born today, 8 September 2010, in Colorado Springs, CO.
The cliche' about the "Circle of Life" was indeed at work here. From sorrow and relief to joy and wonder. The end of one life and the beginning of another. And so it goes, generation upon generation. It's pretty amazing sometimes.
For those who care, Eoin weighed in at 7 lbs, 12 oz and was 20 inches long. He has big feet, lots of hair (although not as much as his sister when she was born) and a lighter complexion than Evie. The Celtic genes won out this round.
Eoin is pronounced "Oh-in." A fascinating look at the origin of the name is found at this site: http://medievalscotland.org/problem/names/iain.shtml
Eoin's cousins Josh and Nicole Pittman delivered Pooh and Eeyore to his bassinet.
Evie visited today and declared that she was happy with her new baby brother. Christie and Mike are breathing easier at the news. :-)
That's it for tonight; I'm pooped. More later.
