I am pleased to announce that this morning, at 9:20 AM, our new granddaughter, Summer Ruth Clark, made her entrance into the world! 

She was not really as red in the face as the photo seems to show, in fact she is quite the lovely little lady.  And she was so very alert and observant!  It is sometimes said that girl babies tend to want to connect, and it surely is true in her case.  She would hear the voice of someone talking to her, and she would turn towards the sound already.  Just two hours old in this photograph.  It's also a good shot of Daddy Jason's ear, by the way.

I do note that I can see her great grandmother Ruth's eyes in her, so she is well named.  She was a most healthy baby, too.  Vital Stats: 8 lbs 11 oz; 20 inches long.

Well I have great news!  And that news is a new Grandson.  He was born to my son Daniel and his wife, Linda, this morning at 5:40 am.  A nice weight, 7 lbs 3 oz, length 21 inches, and the docs couldn't find a single thing wrong with him.  His name?  Oh, yes:

Daniel John Clark

When your children start having children, THAT's when the fun begins.  And a few weeks from now, maybe right at Christmas, our son Jason and his wife Larene will be presenting us with another grandbaby, this time a girl, whose name has already been picked out: Summer Ruth Clark.  I can't wait!
