<\/p>\nOur kids have had quite a week so for those with an interest in our family here is the news.<\/p>\n
Our first grandson (two previous granddaughters) arrived early Wednesday morning. Preston Reid Tanner. Preston, mom, dad, and big sister Addison are all doing fine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Todd<\/a> called us last evening. He was in New York with colleagues for the daytime Emmy awards and the science education show he works on, Dragonfly TV, received an Emmy.<\/p>\n I checked the DragonflyTV site<\/a> this morning – no mention of the award. Perhaps they thought the middle school audience would not be impressed.<\/p>\n Sent to us via Todd’s camera phone.<\/p>\n Finally, daughter Kim called this morning from Ketchikan. She and boyfried Jim are spending the summer working on a whale watching boat. Her MacBook boots to a white screen and there are no Apple Stores with a genious bar in Ketchikan. She called mom – close to the same thing. No boot CD. No dongle to plug in a monitor (may be a bad screen). No firewire to firewire cable to target drive computer to see if harddrive is available. No backups of a great image collection. What did we teach these kids? I am going to miss the blog posts<\/a> and living vicariously through the images.\u00a0 We are going to have to figure something out – perhaps a loaner is in order.<\/p>\n Way to go kids! Can’t wait to see what happens next week.<\/p>\n Dad<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/learningaloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/toddemmy.jpg\")
