Thank you KDH, for sharing!
Oh and Caroline, I am pretty content too, as we had spaghetti for dinner!

Jenna ( your cousin) said...

Ugh! GABetsy beat me to the pc and practically wrestled me to the ground when I informed her we have a new blog!!! Sweet baby Caroline! Welcome to the world. How precious, beautiful you are.

Vote Caroline Jeanne for President! I can't wait to hold you!

Jnna said...

KDH is it possible to email me the link to your video so I can show Gram in full screen?

Nonnax2 said...

I am SO mad that I didn't check the blog last night!

She is a beautiful, beautiful little girl, just like her momma.

Will the 16th never get here???

Betsy said...

Just so you know Sweet Caroline, that part of the family is in Disney, make sure you have your mom and dad take you!
Have a great Thursday one and all

Jill said...

What a great video. Caroline looks like she is a very happy baby.

cousin oliver said...

i just wanted to tell you a few things about big pop and nonna. big pop might look big and scary but he is harmless. make sure you have him sing teddy bear picnic and you'll see the softy that he is. you'll get used to seeing nonna, she comes around alot. be ready for lots of hugs and kisses. these people never seem to stop giving them out. can't wait to see you. i love you, baby caroline.

Ok, I know I'm not a Holtz, but that Oliver comment made me cry...what a great little guy...

Jill said...

Welcome Barb! You can post on our blog anytime.

Great epsiode of The Office last night!!

Yay for Friday and a 3 day weekend!! Letchworth Craft Show and Octoberfest this weekend.

Betsy said...

Happy Friday, today is Sweet Caroline's first ever Friday, and she told me she is very excited for Fridays!
GA Barb, you can stop by anytime!
Our BloB (that is what gramma calls it) is for everyone, and in the past quite a few notables have stopped by! And you are family!
KDH, I hope you saw " The Office" last nite, it was the best one ever!
I am including, in this segment, "WWJS" what would jff say?
" TGIF, this evening some baseball and some Flying Bison! Enjoy one and all!
Heading down to Letchworth tomorrow for the craftshow, other than that, playing it by ear!

jnna said...

WWJS I LOVE IT. LOL. What would Jeff say on this rainy day as he is in Disney spending time with Aladdin.

jnna said...

Is it even possible for the bills to pull off a win today?


I took Austin to a haunted house last night. We had a great time. Hopefully the bruise he left on my arm from gripping it to hard goes away.

How is the newest addition to our family? Any new updates?

Betsy said...

Sunday already???
We had a great day at Letchworth yesterday, minus the crowds of course, but it was a beautiful fall day, great foliage watching, lots of fun things to look at, great food! All in all a very fun day! Jnna took Mr Austin to some of the haunted houses in the area, and they had a great time..
Me I rooted for St louis!
The sun is out, so I am not sure if I will watch the bills today??
should I?
KDH, please dont let Caroline watch the bils, she is way to young!

Jnna said...

Why do I even bother watching the bills game?

Austin said...

welcom caroline!!!! bills r embarising well im getting icecream
with nana and aunt jenna

Betsy said...

Monday, and another work week begins! So since football season started we have had gramma over every sunday to watch the game, eat, etc. She usually sits on the couch, scratches off her scratch offs and ignores all of us who just scream at the TV. Well that practice stops as of yesterday, the be all end all of the worst games the bils have ever played, I am convinced it is because my mother is watching them! they were horrible in every sense of the word horrible!
So to brighten up our day, we called Caroline, she was busy, so we talked to her Mom instead, which was fun and GG got a kick out of it..
Other than that, plow through the work week..

unk said...

Son adm claims that if I am having a cerebral hemmorage, like from watching the bills, I would never know what hit me, so I guess that I didn't have one. Anyhow, whatever disney cost it was a small price to pay to avoid watching that, whatever it was, yesterday. thatwith the baseball results was enuf to push me over the edge. The only good thing was not working today.

Jill said...

Am I reading the Buffalo News correct that they may abolish the T-NT Football game?!?!

Betsy said...

No more T-NT game!
There is talk the bils will dump TO.
Thurman's statue was stolen by a Canadian! What is this world coming too???
Caroline Jeanne is one week old, its all good!

unk said...

made the tops run with mom yesterday so she is all set with rye bread and raisins. The good news is that I haven't been near rich stadium in at least 15 yrs. so none of this is costing $$. Can you imagine having a big chunk of coin invested to see all of this in person? Happy 1 week Caroline Jeanne and can't wait to see you on Friday!!!! Nonna already has her suitcase packed.

Jill said...

Quiet on the blog...When are the Disney travelers coming home to the cold? Don Postles is saying snow in the forecast. Thats depressing.

Oops a little trigger happy on the publish comment button

Betsy said...

For those not in the know, a relief from arthritic pain should be 9 raisins daily that have soaked in gin overnight.
Its thursday, other than that not to much else to report on.

unk said...

Time to reassess my diet. To live to 90+ its rye bread, gin, raisins and krakaus ham. I can handle 3 of the 4. A few snow pellets bumping around out there. Not a good sign for only half way thru october.

Betsy said...

Its Friday! La De Dah! It has been a very very long week. I have missed very much sunshine and days with out coats! And to drive into work in the snow, UGH!
But hey its friday, its all good!
Enjoy the weekend!
and to the hotlanta travelers, hug and kiss our girls for all of us!

Sndra said...

Congratulations KDH!! She is beautiful! Thank you for naming her after me (I am sooo flattered)--yes, my middle name is Jean...ahhh...hope that doesn't make you rethink that now!
Anyways--good news: New baby in the family and a great Disney 90+ degree vacation had by all
Very bad news: Our dog Casey passsed away while we were gone--everyone is pretty upset. House is too quiet (never thought I'd say that!)She was only 5--no one knows what happened. She was sick when we left & just never recovered.
Classic "Rice" luck though--Emma's homework that we just FINALLY finished...reading Shiloh!

Betsy said...

OMG, that is horrible news!
so sorry that you lost your pet, and after a great vacation too!
Hope everyone feels better soon,
maybe a good snow storm with lots of shoveling will keep everyone busy!

jnna said...

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear Rice family!

Betsy said...

Happy saturday, lots of good sports games today, if you are so inclined!
Off to the market.
Bro, do you want us to snowblow your driveway so you can get in?
Just asking..
Kiss and Hug our Sweet Caroline

big pop said...

So sorry to hear the bad news about Casey. Made it too not so warm atlanta and are having a wonderful time with miss caroline. She is not awake a whole lot so we have to maximize the time with her. Left with snow on the ground and it had better be gone by the time that I get back. Enjoy the weekend all.

jt said...

That's great! Thanks for sharing. She's beautiful.

jt said...

Yeah, that's right, I'm late to the video.

Jnna said...

Happy 4 year anniversary to our blog! Our blog was created 4 years ago today. We have had so much to talk about on the blog!

Hope there are many more years to come.

Gram is over watching the game and eating apple pie with ice cream. GO BILLS!

Adam said...

Why am I wasting my time watching this crap?

Betsy said...

Adm, you are subjecting yourself to the pain of watching the Buffalo Bills, because it was how you were raised, blame your dad...
crap does'nt even begin to describe it!

Jnna said...

The Bills win! Was not a pretty game, but a win is a win!

jt said...

It's hard to believe the Bills won.
Well, after quite awhile and a wonderful vacation it's back to work... ugh.

Betsy said...

happy monday AM! how wonderful to go to work after a win!
Happy 4 year Anniversary to our family blog, who knew??
Happy being 2 weeks old tomorrow Ms Caroline!
enjoy this crisp cool fall AM

jt said...

4 years??? Where does the time go?

Great baseball game too bad the Yanks loss. Why did Girardi take out Robertson?

Betsy said...

Joe Girardi absolutely cost the Yankee's the game last nite. His overthinking is ridiculous!
Happy tuesday to one and all whom ever chooses to celebrate!

unkie said...

Back in WNY after a wonderful 4 days with the most beautiful GA peach of all. A most unexpected Bills win and now a baseball series that I may begin to watch. And, I didn't have to shovel to get in my driveway last evening, Yeah!!! 4 yrs. of blogging and I am guessing that I may have used up most of my A-material. Have to check with Auntie on that since she still finds me to be absolutely hilarious.

Anonymous said...

The Yankee bus ride to the hotel took 2 hrs last night. Joe Giradi stopped and changed drivers 3 times.

Betsy said...

Happy Birthday, cookie!
Hope you have a great one.
Can we put the link up to our new blog site?
Enjoy Wed, big city of tonawanda mayoral candidate debate tonight!
I believe fox news is covering???

unkie said...

And a great big HB nc jll. Hope that your day is as special as you are. Enjoy

kdh said...

Happy Birthday jll! This year is going to be an exciting year for you -- enjoy every moment.

Caroline misses her nonna and big pop. And I do too -- those extra pairs of hands sure were handy!

at least its warmed up down here, and the sun has come out. Thank GOODNESS. I felt like I was getting moldy around the ears!

Betsy said...

Did I read correctly that K needs an extra pair of hands??? The line forms to the left to go help!
Happy thursday.
So yesterday father and daughter attended the mayoral debate for the city of tonawanda upcoming elections. The BIG topic of discussion was should the recycling truck follow the trash truck 5 days a week. Film at 11

unk said...

Ever since Don Creasy left Tonawanda poliics, things have not been the same. Nc Jnn has been making threatening political moves for awhile now. I think that it is time for her to get involved. A new broom sweeps clean: that can be your motto! It's time for a change, no, that's baby Caroline's motto. Sun's out and I'm picking up Mom for a tops run at 11. Enjoy

Jnna said...

It was a great time at the mayoral debate. Hopefully my guy wins. I have to admit, politics is in my blood and I will run; when the time is right.

Anonymous said...

happy friday..
politics in jnna's blood, mmm sounds more like her last name should be Kennedy? minus the liberal tone..
birthday party for cookie sunday, other than that nothing else really going on. looks like it will be a cool rainy weekend.
hang tough family

jt said...

Happy Birthday Jll, sorry we're late.
Dinner with Sandra's folks tonight was delish, lamb and something that was brown. mmmmm...

Run, Jnna, run.

unk said...

Leaves are ankle deep and crying to be raked, but the "moistness" of the last day could make a hernia possible. Guess that i will wait a bit. Week until Halloween. Costumes ready all? Peter Pan anyone?

jt said...

We've had a Peter Pan costumes over the years. Not this year though.
I agree Unckie, the leaves are not worth the injury. Let 'em rest, Auntie will get them soon enough.

unkie said...

I llike your thinking nphw, but unless I hold up my outdoor responsibilites I may be going on Halloweeen as a(n) eunuch. Auntie has a side to her that she keeps hidden.

Jnna said...

I carted Gram around to a new location that sells lottery tickets, where she was specifically told to buy 3 $5 tickets, and in return won $5. I filled out a mileage sheet for reimbursement from the lottery ticket addicts.

unk said...

Now is GG returning monday for a third meal? I never said "where" to buy, I just suggested an approach to try to win. How about those Bills sports fans???

Jnna said...

Oh that Gram of ours, she turned the story all around. I think you got your $5 back Unkie.

The Bills win, a Yankee win! It's a great Monday AM.

Betsy said...

Happy Monday! and a happy monday it is with a glorious win for the bils and the yankees!
Now will there be a quarterback controversy brewing at one bils drive???
Had a very nice birthday party for cookie yesterday, the day started out with the fixxitts stopping after church for birthday cake, and I am just going to give everyone a heads up, mr fixxitt has quite a few "very good" pirate gift ideas!
Then Katie brought mr james over who is just learning to walk, and he was fascinated with gg's cane, so that was fun..
enjoy the week, only one week left in october, now where did that month go????

Marv Levy: " where would you rather be than right here, right now"
Well?

unk said...

The "onion" has done it again. A great article on ARod. Must reading for all seeking to be well informed. By the way, did the broadcast crew last nite mention the tainted=steroid nature of the Andy P. record of sorts? Me, I didn't watch

Betsy said...

Only my bro would think that the onion could educate! sheesh..
I would prefer to become an enlightened individual by watching fox news! thank you very much!
What was Marv Levy doing on the blog? new book sales kind of slow?
Interesting
Happy 2 weeks old sweet caroline!
Hope you are treating your mom good!
enjoy this indian summer day, is that still used or is it considered politically incorrect?

caroline jeanne said...

Dear G. A. Betsy, I am officially 3 weeks old thank you. Time flies...

G. A. Betsy said...

OMG, how right you are, Ms Caroline Jeanne, I am so sorry that I do not know how old you are???
Its the flourescent lights, I tell you..
May I always say you are younger than you are, trust me you will appreciate when you are 30!
Happy 3 weeks old Ms Caroline Jeanne!

jt said...

Too funny.

The Onion reminds me how years ago I thought the World Weekly News was my means for a full tummy of knowledge. Wake me when the Onion covers the reincarnation of Miller Huggins.

Betsy said...

what a day, and its not even 9.
10 call offs from work, 10!
and jnna's car died on the 400 this AM in the pouring rain no less.
Thank goodness baseball returns tonight
enjoy wetwednesday

Hi Sandra,

Not until a stake is driven thru their collective hearts

Unknown said...

Wow dad... What precipitated that comment?

Betsy said...

Did I miss a post?? What brought that on? Did Athena's mess up his breakfast order again?
Did the catholic church take away all saints day?
Did trent edwards practice?
What what brought on that outburst?
KDH, do not let Caroline read that!

kdh said...

holy heckfire is my father ok? Was that an infarct? or is he getting into the halloween spirit somehow?

Jnna said...

A rainy Halloween day! I am trying to recover from a stinking cold. I am somewhat concerned about Unkie. What was with that outburst?

Well I hope no one encounters a ghost today! Happy Halloween!


HAPPY FIRST HALLOWEEN CAROLINE!

Anonymous said...

Boo! Did I scare you?

Betsy said...

Happy November!
Where o where did October go?
Time is flying by at rapid pace isnt it?
Hope everyone had a nice Halloween. We had our usual # of trick or treaters, and I hear so did Luther Manor..
Enjoy the day all
Go Bills!

unkie said...

My original outburst came as a result of WS game 1 and the hopes that I had at that time. Sorry that there was no context for it.I wish to retract that statement and replace it with: I give, no mas, the yankees are my daddy. And one additional torture, the only thing worse than watching the Bills is listening to them on the radio. Returning from helping the Big O go trick and treating, my treat was listening to their misery. Happy November all.

jt said...

Happy Birthday Sandra

Betsy said...

Happy Birthday Sandra! Hope you had a great day!
so we dont hear from my nephew in months, and all we get from his is birthday salutations to his lovely wife?
No bils comment? Nothing on Andy Pettit? No fam update?
I am concerned!

jt said...

My dithers are up with this whole wireless connection thang. I'm seriously loosing my mind. I've spent a fortune and can't get anything to work. Bah humbug on technology. Give me two cups and a long string.

Jnna said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA!
