Greetings from “Grandpa” Jack (Shannon’s Dad). I have been appointed to be today’s journal writer (the 2011 equivalent of “go boil some water”) as Shannon and Peter (along with Shannon’s Mom, Gretchen) are a little busy at the moment getting accustomed to their new room in Labor and Delivery. Shannon called us at the hotel this morning at 7:30 am (it is now 8:45 am local time) to say “I think you should plan to meet us at the hospital…no hurry but definitely in a little while.” She has been having progressively stronger contractions off and on the past several days so it came as no surprise. It is a gorgeous morning here in the front range, with clear blue skies and spectacular views of the snow capped Rockies from her 3rd floor window. I will post updates periodically throughout the day as I hear of more news to pass on. Please offer some good thoughts, prayers, and karma to Shan at this challenging and exciting time…
