Nick and Andrea welcomed their baby boy and my grandson on September 4th. He is one month early, but doing well. His weight was 5 pounds 7 oz. The whole family is thrilled. We can tell he is a handsome and clever lad!

Mom'sToo Sexy

Amazon.com : Music Sampler

Imagine my surprise when I discovered tonight that Emma's ringtone for me when I call her cellphone is a song by Right Said Fred called I'm Too Sexy! She tells me it has been there forever, but of course I never hear it, so we had a good laugh while I listened to it with her. (when I called her cellphone Sunday she was in the car with Maggie, and I could hear her laughing - now I know why).

If you dare, click on the link to the Amazon music sampler and choose "I'm too sexy." I watched the video on You Tube; it's pretty funny.. The lyrics on the ringtone are I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, I'm too sexy for Milan, New York and Japan....
