And The family grew!

This very morning at 1:05 AM EDST, my son's family grew just a bit more. A little bit, by the way. Annabelle Jo came into this world. She weighed in at 7 lbs, 9 oz and @ 19.5 inches long, she was a light weight compared to the rest of the grands. But she is a beauty. I will post a pic at a later date. I haven't met her yet, but am going to the hospital later on this evening to become acquainted.

                                                                                 

This brings the "Grand Count" up to 5 for my family. My oldest grand being Big E at age 23, then there's a big jump to Princess K, age 8, RJ, age 6, Toby, age 3 and now Annabelle. Mom and granddaughter are both doing fine. Mommy was tired having been doing the "labor" thing for about 16 hours, but thanks to modern meds, and a epidural, she said it wasn't too bad. She was more hungry than tired.  I admire women. They can take more bodily punishment than we men can. If men, and I being one of them, had the babies in the family, each family would only have one, I am sure!!

Anyway, that's my grand announcement for now. This has to be living proof that our God is good...all the time.

Until next time,
Peace,

JE

  1. Congratulations, Grandpa Jim! It won't be long now before you and Annabelle will be sitting in front of a warm fire sharing a package of Werthers Originals while you read Anne of Avonlea to her.
