Grandbaby is here

[ozma914]

Sorry I'm late in posting this, but we wanted to make sure my daughter Jillian could make the official announcement. At 12:26 p.m. on December 6th my first granddaughter, Lillianna Judith Mapes, was born. She was 6 pounds, 13 ounces, and 20 inches long, and yes indeed--she's beautiful. Mom and dad (Doug Mapes) are doing fine, and grandpa is holding his own!

We didn't get to see her right away because Emily and I both got sick (it's December, after all). But I'm pretty sure Emily at least had the flu, so staying home was for the best.

Congratulations! An early Christmas present.

Yes, for sure! We're about done with December birthdays, though: Hers on the 6th, my father-in-law's on the 7th, my wife's on the 21st, and my youngest daughter's on the 27th.

All the very best people have that birthday! (Ahem)

Many congratulations, and welcome to the little one.

Why ... so they do! Hope yours was a great one!

Aw, congrats! She really is beautiful.

Yep, just like mamma! Don't know where they get it.
