Our little miracle has arrived!
I came as fast as I could from Phoenix, AZ to Jackson Hole, WY on Wednesday the 30th of April. By plane, bus, and car I arrived running down the hall of the hospital to see my new grandson who was one hour old. It took awhile for the proud parents to decide upon a name but finally the next evening we have Joshua Duncan Wilcox- born 6:10pm on April 30, 2008 weighing in at 7 lbs. 9 oz. and measuring 20 in. long with a 14 in. head, blue eyes and alot of brown hair. He is adorable and very alert. Rebecca is doing great. She was a trooper through the delivery and will be going home on Friday morning. I am so glad I'll get to stay for a couple of weeks and enjoy them.
It is still winter here in Jackson. I drove out to the house late last night in a snow storm and in to town this morning while it still snowed. Luckily I brought a coat and mittens. From Phoenix's 95 degrees to Jackson's 35 degrees I hope I don't get sick.
The hospital is adjacent to the National Elk Refuge so I stepped outside this afternoon and took a few pictures of the elk. I tried to photograph Rebecca's home so that you could get a feel for the "winter." Meeka, their Alaskan Malamut, got herself tangled in her dog run cable this morning on the far end of the run which lies across a little gully. I tried to snowshoe out to untangle her but Eric's snowshoes wouldn't tighten enough on my boots so I had to give that up and just hoof it. What a surprise!! With every step I sunk 2 1/2 feet into the snow (for a person of my tremendous leg length this resulted in snow up to my hips)!!!!!! I was sweating by the time I returned to the house.
Life is good. God has blessed our family with a wonderful healthy little grandson.
I must return to my grandma duties.....hug and kiss, cuddle and snuggle, click and click photos.
