Baby Anthony arrived today at 4:18 am. He weighed in at 7lb 4oz and 18 inches long. Everyone is doing great and he loves his pillows!

Tony is sooooooooooo beautiful!
 

The Miracle - "A single living cell in the mother's womb gives rise to a human being with all his/her complex systems after a nine-month adventure."

And to the grandparents a few platitudes which suddenly become true.

Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation. ~Lois Wyse


When a child is born, so are grandmothers. ~Judith Levy


Never have children, only grandchildren. ~Gore Videl


Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~Pam Brown


Being grandparents sufficiently removes us from the responsibilities so that we can be friends. ~Allan Frome


When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window. ~Ogden Nash


Grandfathers are for loving and fixing things. ~Author Unknown


Everyone needs to have access both to grandparents and grandchildren in order to be a full human being. ~Margaret Mead

A grandma's name is little less in love than is the doting title of a mother. ~William Shakespeare


The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap. ~Author Unknown

It's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you become one. ~Author Unknown

 Soon I will be an old, white-haired lady, into whose lap someone places a baby, saying, "Smile, Grandma!" - I, who myself so recently was photographed on my grandmother's lap. ~Liv Ullmann

A child needs a grandparent, anybody's grandparent, to grow a little more securely into an unfamiliar world. ~Charles and Ann Morse

I particularly like the last quote since it means that even if you don't have grandchildren of your own, there are children near you who need a grandparent.
