Klayre Jean, welcome to the world!

[hootinholler]

At 5:16PM EDST, at the tender age of 48, I became a grandfather.

Beloved mother and daughter, who is a wee bit small at 5 pounds even, are healthy and resting.

May my Mother Earth ever hold you to her breast.
May my Father Sky watch over you always.
Live free in peace.

12. Hoot, my fiend ...... Congrats ...... and may I say I envy you.

Yes, you're young and tender for a grampa, but you'll treasure every moment. And you'll have more moments than most of us!

14. I promised myself I wouldn't cry

:rofl:

Stanky, you are the man and correct as usual.

Mom, like my ex, is a tough cookie, 69 hour induction and the Dr missed the birth, delivered by the monitor tech while she was yelling for help.

Remember, grandchildren are your reward for not killing your children!

Henceforth, you will be known as "Big Daddy" or as my sister's grands call them, Meems and Biggs.

16. In my family it's Pap-Pap

Why do they tie the umbilicus? So the baby doesn't fly around the room like a balloon.

Why are babies so cute? So we won't drown 'em.

Thank you!
