Baby Benjamin

April 11, 2011. Today our 6th grandchild, Benjamin Michael, was born. It is no less exciting than when Tyler, grandchild no. 1 was born, 8 ½ years ago, but what a long way we have come! Though we rarely see the 3 in New Jersey, and I suspect we won’t see this one as often as we’d like, our daughters are very good at keeping us up with what’s going on. Facebook, email, and Skype will be of immeasurable use to us, and I am so looking forward to watching them all grow.
While I wish all my grandchildren lived nearby, I am very fortunate that 2 of them do, and that we get to spend a great deal of time with them. They spend a night or 2 a week at our house, I am invited to the playground and spray park with them, and we are all very close.
So, Benjamin, welcome to our world, you beautiful baby!
