TODAY the earth greeted another guest. It seems impossible - but isn't - that my granddaughter has given me a great-grandchild.His name is Alexander and he will grow up to conquer hearts, I am sure. Let us hope he is wise and generous and kind to everyone he meets and spreads his mother's infectious giggle.
Today, January 20, 2010, seems very important to me. I catch myself with a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes and a dozen memories flashing through my mind.
I feel the small body in my arms, even though I've not held him yet. I yearn to watch his face wrinkle and twitch and his mouth pucker and tremble.
May Alexander always be a joy and know much of it himself. (joy, that is) - femminismo

Congratulations! Welcome to the world baby Alexander.
Most excellent indeed. I am a great aunt (!) and basically the nephews and niece treat me more or less like this fun living doll toy they have, when we see one another.
"Hey, Candy, let's play hide and seek."
"Okay!"
Congrats again.
congratulations on the new addition.
