Fifteen years after the last one, weve been made grandparents again. A little girl weighing 9lb born last night  to my youngest and her new hubby and we get to see her this afternoon. Im like a kid at Christmas.

Congratulations!!!   Time to celebrate.

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

 

 

 

 

 

Congrats Alan, grandchildren are fun, and a new one after so long is a blessing. Mine range from 17 to 4, so almost as much a gap between first and last.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."

Congratulations!
I have 7 and 1 on the way!  Now you have to spoil her rotten!

Congrats! 9 lbs...She's a big girl, hope mother is doing well :)
Yes, post pics! Please

Grandkids! You can spoil them, then hand them back to the parents when the diaper needs changed. The best of both worlds. Congratulations!

if you're that lucky. We have the opposite problem; daughter loves being around the 20-month old when she's happy, but let her start crying, and it's off to the gramps'...;) oh well, such is life.

Congrats.

First thing I thought was, "spoil them rotten".  hehe  I guess that is a universal theme for grandparents every where.

Congrats Alan!

Thanks to all for your congrats. I saw her last night, she`s gorgeous, takes after her Grandad.  Of course, no one had a camera!

I foresee many Conga Rats in your future sez the swamie!

Here`s a pic for those soft buggers who like to go Ahhhh. (like me). SHe`s called Holly. My family has no sense of season.

Awwwwwwww...she's beautiful! God bless and keep her close.

To greymouser69:

"A wonderful thing is a breaking wave,
And sweet is the scent of spring,
But the silent voice of an unborn babe
Is God's most beautiful thing."

From a poem by Captain Cyril Morton Thorne

Quest

Awwww ! What a beautiful granddaughter you have. Congrats again!

I agree, what a beautiful baby!  Congratulations to you and your family!

Quest:
I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments expressed in that passage.  The only reason we're in no hurry here is as follows.  2 boys ages 23 and 21 who still are in the process of getting their lives in order after school and neither is currently involved even casually with anyone at this time.  1 girl who just turned 17 and is still working on finishing school herself.

Don't get me wrong, we will be extremely happy when the day comes, but for now we will continue to just enjoy what we have.  ;)

Greymouser69, I only posted that stanza of the poem in celebration of the pending arrival of a new and innocent infant life. No explanation was requested nor was one necessary on your behalf surrounding the private circumstances of this baby. But now that you have chosen to share these circumstances I cannot help but sympathize with you in this special situation which happens to the best of families throughout the world.

What has been done cannot be made undone. Obligatory decisions will have to be made and responsibilities meted.  My only words of consolation are that life isn’t always fair and it moves on and usually straightens itself out somehow. I wish you and your family serenity, harmony, peace of mind, and the strength and fortitude to tackle the challenges of the future.

Quest

Children are something wonderful and so I wish you and the parents my best wishes :)

Greymouser69, please forgive me. On reread I see that I have totally misconstrued what you were saying. I thought you were saying that one of your kids had had a lapse in judgment and was expecting a child out of wedlock while still being in school. Boy, I’m sure glad I spoke to Ang25 who said that she didn’t get that impression from reading your post. So I had to come back here to reread the post. I’m so sorry for this misunderstanding.

Quest

Congratulations!

Congratulations, They do look so cuddly at that age, don't they?  Sweet.

Quest, no worries and no offense was taken.  It is easy to misconstrue forum postings and I am certain I have done the same myself on more than one occasion.  Regardless of being misconstrued I certainly appreciate your wishing us all well in any case and we return the sentiments to you and yours as well.
