We just spent a grand week with our three grandchildren.  What is so wonderful is being able to relax and have fun with them without all of the responsibilities for their long-term well-being.  When they climb up in your lap and say "I love you Grandma" it is the most powerful balm ever!

Enjoy!

Congratulations!!!!  She is absolutely beautiful.  I can almost smell that new baby smell.  Nothing like it in the world!  I know she is a lucky little girl being born into a family where she is obviously already adored.  Enjoy!

She is just the cutest little thing!  I want to just pick her up and snuggle!  Lyn, I agree - nothing like that new baby smell!

Congratulations, Grampa.  Try not to spoil her too much!    :D  Probably too late for that already.

When do you think you'll be able to get her out on the water with you?  I can see her on a little pink board!

Enjoy her!
