On Being Grandparents


The blog post on October 19th had a picture of a car seat, still vacant, but waiting.

Monday, November 9th our first grandchild, Annika, was born. She is the one who will be seen in that car seat. She is Lisa and Mike's first child. She is beautiful. And yes, i am the grandparent, who is quickly slipping into total love and adoration of this little one--but see for yourself.

Being a grandparent as i see it is an honour and a privilege. I am watching and listening for tips and insights into this new stage in life. It would be instructive to receive advice from you my readers.

Congratulations all around on the arrival of beautiful baby Annika. What a blessed child she is to be born into arms and hearts where love and grace abound! Welcome to "grandparenthood"-it really is a hallowed privilege. You need no coaching in these matters, Marilyn and Lou...you are "naturals" and will be thrilled with every stage and interaction. God bless you all!

Congratulations Marilyn and Lou! It's so good that you live close to your new granddaughter, Annika. My best advise would be to always try to live as close as possible to your grandchild!
