Every holiday we can expect a hand written note, or card, or postcard from my dad. This is a special treat because the man is witty... seriously funny and smart! He spends time writing all of his his kid's families - that a lot! And, it must he said - the man has perfect handwriting.
This morning I received his mass family e-mail anouncing the birth of my sister's baby and couldn't help but smile.
"Old news by now to most of you... But congratulations to Allison and Tristan on the birth of Tate Sinclair French at about 1:00 am on Friday, November 12. Weighing in at 6 pounds 13 ounces; measuring 20.5 inches in length; and batting .337. Allie reports that he is very good looking. I propose a [French] toast: 'Here's to new baby and proud parents!'
Grandpa Jim
That makes an even dozen (but who's counting?)."
It also it reminded me of the e-mail he sent when my James was born... read here.
I really love my dad. Obviously, since I named my first born after him. ;-)
