Motley Crue...a new nephew...a whirlwind couple of days
So I planned on spending the weekend in Vegas and returning Monday...instead we had a whirlwhind, 24-hour turnaround day. We left at 8am and were home by 9am the next morning. The show was incredible! I must admit to being a little surprised. I mean, I knew I'd have a good time, but I was surprised and happy at the same time to see how great they all looked and sounded.

Here's a pre-show pic of my friend and me:



I returned to my best friend's house on Monday and passed out! I woke up to about five messages telling me that my sister-in-law went into labor. She was originally due the 28th, but a week early isn't a big deal. As it turned out, though, after all day everything being fine - they ended up doing an emergency C-section because my nephew was showing signs of trauma. In fact, he wasn't breathing for a full FOUR minutes when he was first born! All is well, though. Both he and my sister-in-law are now fine. Luckily the "scary part" was brief (well, to all of us - I'm sure not so "brief" to my brother and his wife). Bummer part was, I drove all the way down there Monday night and they wouldn't even let me see them. I had to return on Tuesday.

Here I am holding my newest nephew, Ryland James:
