New Baby in the Family

Carson is my grandniece and she and Andrew became the proud parents of Francis Robert today.They're a young couple but they'll do just fine because they've have a loads of family ready to step in and help whenever and wherever needed.  It's so exciting when a new baby joins the family.  It's as though our strength has been increased by his/her arrival.


Val is Carson's Mom and a Gramma for the first time so she really doesn't know yet just how this little babe will grab hold of her heart and never let go.  I'm sure the process began as she held her tiny grandson in her arms soon after his birth.  It's that delicate soft skin and baby smell that draws you in until you're hooked.  Add that to the fact he's the offspring of her precious daughter and she really doesn't have a chance, does she?  


We're having a shower for this baby in the near future and all the family and friends that will fit in Faye's house will snuggle with him, bonding and binding him to us.  It's a rite of passage in welcoming the baby to the fold.  Happy times!
