These four days have given us a chance to get much closer and personal with our grandson Finn. In so doing, we realized how full-time an occupation taking care of a little baby like him can be; this is a non-stop, 24/7 enterprise that leaves absolutely no time to the dedicated care-giver. The last time we went through this was a full quarter of a century ago and it’s amazing how fast we can forget the intensity of the commitment involved. The other side of that coin is the joy that pours out of the experience and that is much more than commensurate with all the work involved!

Hi JF!
You look like the perfect grandfather with your baby in one hand and glass of wine in the other! Wine, and plenty of it, is certainly helpful with dealing with a needy infant. Congratulations!
Love and best wishes!
Shelley
