Grandios Gloat

I have just this afternoon become a great grand father again. One would think that after doing this five times previosly that it would become "old hat" but it does not. This has been a glorious day.

Baby (Nelani Mia) was born today at 2:17PM. Mommy and baby are doing fine. I, on the other hand, may need resuscitation.

Congratulations, I don't think having grand kids could ever get "old hat".

Congratulations Grandpa, this is truly one of life's greatest blessings. Jim

Congrats sir! It's better knowing you don't have to pick up the tab

Congratulations Dusty. I can only imagine how that must feel. I'm one rung under you currently, just a Grandfather (of 3) and I know how great that feels.

Can I make one suggestion. in 1980 my son was a year old and my grandfather was still living. We had a 4-generation photo taken. The photographer said he took many 4G photos of women, but that was the first one he'd ever done of men. It is a rarity. I still treasure that photo.

Thank you Tom for that suggestion. I do appreciate it. All I have to do now is "get them all together at the same time" and "get my wife to go before the camera". Maybe the thought of a four generation photo will entice her.

If I manage to do that, I will post a copy here - without telling her of course.
