Our SawMill Creek Server Administrator Aaron Koehl and my oldest daughter Katherine had a baby girl at approximately 4:30 am this morning.
So today we welcome Madeline Virginia Koehl into our family and our hearts. Maddy is Kathy and Aaron's first child and Jackie and my first grandchild.

Today we will celebrate our good fortune with our family and friends. :D

Time to learn the abuelos mantra.

Spoil them , then send them home.


Congrats,

Keith,

Congratulations but I agree with Bruce. You know the rules here - no pictures, didn't happen.:D


(Gotta be careful, my first grandchild is due in 2 weeks... There have been a lot of child/grandchild postings lately. What the heck was going on 9 months ago?)

Pictures are on the way. I was able to get a couple pictures and a short video on my iPad this morning. We are planning to go back to the hospital shortly so the pics will have to wait until later tonight.

Bruce I didn't have the chance to get the cradle built but I am planning to finish the Clydesdale rocking horse so Aaron and Kathy can use it in the baby's room as a floor lamp until she is old enough to start riding :) I have had a rather large project going on for several weeks moving storage buildings and preparing to move out of my shop office. My youngest daughter graduated from CNU in May, she wants to move into the apartment over my shop which is what I have been using for an office for several years. One of my large storage buildings has to be emptied and become my new office which is a major task given the terrible temperatures we have had here for several weeks. I'm pecking away at the job as fast as I can.

Grandkids are much more fun than kids ever were!

When our oldest daughter had her first, i said this is great! And when they start to smell or fuss, it's a lateral pass and I'm done!! As they get older is so much fun to see their personalities develop.

Enjoy them everyday - God's blessings for sure.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Kathy and Maddy are scheduled to be released from the hospital late this morning and we are looking forward to visiting them at home later today. No doubt there will be plenty of photo opportunities once they are at home so I got both my cameras charged up and ready to go :)

Now its down to the shop to machine a stork and get it engraved as a home coming present :)
