This is my second try at this column. Really don't like Notepad on this laptop. I like the laptop for traveling because we can get e-mail and do online banking, but other than that I much prefer my home computer. So here goes again. And sorry but this will be a short one.

We left Monroe County Jan. 2 and drove to Cabot, Arkansas to Steph and Curt's. I attended Chante's baby shower, given by her good friend Tara. She received many beautiful gifts.

The big news in our family is the birth of our first great-grandchild. Kayden Michael Snow. He was born Feb. 7 at St. Vincent's Hospital in Little Rock. He weighed in at five pounds 12 ounces and 19 inches long. Chante` was in labor 18 hours but was a real trooper about the whole experience. Kayden is definitely a keeper, cute as he can be. He was born at the hospital where his daddy Daniel works so they received royal treatment.

Kayden shares a birthday with Hannah Yonak, who is my sister Susie's granddaughter. Hannah just turned six.
