Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Our First Grandchild!

 
Mommy Shalise and Daddy Brian welcome Baby Ezra
You read about it. You hear about it. People tell you. People you know tell you.

Still, I was unprepared for the flood of emotion when my oldest said "He's here!" There is just no preparing you for your son to be a father. There aren't words.

Ezra was born this morning in Valencia, CA, a few days earlier than planned, very healthy, and happy to see his folks. Especially Mom whose nose he gave a big kiss!

Uncle Jeff and I will fly south to meet the little guy in a few days, while Grandpa and Tessa stay with the rig near Seattle.

With five more sons, we better get used to this :-)

Proud daddy

      Thanks Debbie. It's tough because my least favorite color is blue! We're beyond thrilled with little Ezra though :-))))

      Thank you Pam. Having to wait until the 29th so younger son can fly down with me :-( His daddy assures me Ezra will not have gotten a job and moved out by then. We'll see.......
