Don’t expect me to blog much today, because I’ve got something much more interesting going on…
This morning at about 5:30 a.m., my daughter-in-law gave birth to a beautiful, perfect little girl, my son’s firstborn. So we’re having a wonderful day today.
And guess which grandparent got to hold her first? (Don’t tell my wife — or fellow grandparents Ginny and Hunter Herring.) I cheated. After all the others had left to let mother and baby sleep, I snuck back just as they were about to bring the baby to her mother’s room for the first time.
There will be a lot of folks lining up to hold this baby (including the twins, who were practicing child care yesterday by putting a diaper on their stuffed toy monkey).
She’s a perfect holding size, just as she is perfect in every other way…
She’s beautiful!!! Congrats to you, Juanita, Matt and Ashley!
how exciting! She looks beautiful! Congratulations for you all and the new mom and dad!
Mazel tov!
Congratulations!
Great looking baby. Maybe you can give me some grandpa tips. I’ll join that elite club in May.
Ahhhhh! I love babies!! She is beautiful and, Brad, you are glowing!
Good looking baby. Got a little hair too.
‘ou nani keiki wahine!
Kakou, tutu kane…
BEAUTIFUL! (But I expected no less from M and A)
Brad– There is a suspicious similarity between the photo of you with this new grandchild and the one you linked us to with one of the twins. Are you Photoshopping grandchildren?
Enjoy!
Congratulations Brad!!
Congratulations! How precious. I would be holding her instead of blogging also.
From an advertisement I saw many years ago for a hospital in Milwaukee: “Looks like a warm, wet winter ahead.” Congratulations to your whole family!
Dang it, Burl, my Hawaiian is really rusty. I assume that’s a benediction of some kind, but I can’t quite make it out. I know what akeiki is, and a wahine and a kane , but I can’t make out the rest…
I am so happy for you guys! What a beautiful baby for sure! Merry Christmas to you all. What a wonderful gift you got to start the season.
There must be an online translator for Hawaiian…..or would that be Burl
Congratulations. She is beautiful.
Congratulations, Grandpa! We’ve got six grandkids, now, and they’re a blast. Would have had eight, but two recent miscarriages torpedoed that hope. It’s always a blessing when a healthy child comes into a loving family.
