The Newest Twig

Today I joined the grandparents club when the newest twig on my family tree came into the world:  Piper Rayne came in at 12:02 p.m. weighing 7lbs. 13oz. and was 21 1/4" long.  Mom and baby are doing fine.

She looks a lot like how her momma looked when she was born.  

I can't wait to see her and hold her for myself.  A work conference has me in Ft. Lauderdale for a few days.

Now I have to get used to being called "Grandpa."  I think I can handle that.
