Two New Granddaughters

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks. On April 25, our son and daughter-in-law (as well as our three existing grandchildren) were joined by a new granddaughter. Our new arrival held on until the last minute, so she is a very mature looking baby. She weighed in at 9 pounds 9 ounces. Our daughter-in-law is a petite five feet, so you can imagine that getting this one born naturally was quite a process. There's something to be said for big, on-time babies, because our new granddaughter looks great. Here's an early picture (there will be more later).


She is a real cutie and apparently loves the water. Here's a picture after her first bath. Isn't she beautiful? Her siblings have really taken to her, especially her big sister. Here's a picture of the two of them together.


We expect that our new granddaughter will be as cute as our other grandchildren. Here are the boys. Our oldest turned 9 on May 18 and the younger one is 7. They are very active and a lot of fun for a grandpa.




And then....

Our daughter and son-in-law's Texas baby wasn't expected until late May, but she decided to make an early appearance on May 10. Because she was early, she was much smaller than her cousin, but that also made the delivery much easier for our daughter. Our new little longhorn weighed in at 6 pounds and 14 ounces.

Here are a couple of early pictures. Two beautiful babies. It's going to be fun.


Here's a proud grandma with her new granddaughter. We're going back to Texas the first weekend in June, so there will be more pictures. Our son and his bunch will be there, too, so I should have some pictures of all my grandchildren together.
