Happiest Day

"The happiest days are the days when babies come," said Melanie in "Gone with the Wind." For my family, this is a happiest day, as we welcome our first grandchild and first boy baby in a generation.

It's an awesome thought, to know there is this new life in the world: the little fingers and little toes, the face that seems old and wise, a visitor from beyond.

We are grateful and excited, though nowhere near as much as his proud and weary parents. And we look forward to tomorrow ... when we hope we'll be able to hold the little guy. 

(Using this photo again, though I used it less than a month ago, because it's of my sweet Claire, already loving babies, though she was barely more than a baby herself. Now she has a baby of her own!)
