He is not yet two days old: Ryan Jasper C-------,son of Jessica and Michael,
grandson of kj and jb, and Patricia and Malcolm,
great-grandson of Rose and Betty,
child of great promise ,
and one day, man of peace.
I don't post too many pictures of myself, but if ever there were an exception, it's this shot of our four generations.
I know every baby is a doll, but really, I think he's a doll. So are his parents. Ryan's dad, Mike, is not included in these shots only because I could not figure out how to upload, download, or inside-out loadAll I can say for now is thank you for this healthy baby boy, who will be deeply loved all of his life.
pure blessing! congratulations!

OMG! OMG! OMG! He's here!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so excited. And can i just say Jess looks great after just two days? (i looked like a bloated beached whale)
He looks beautiful.
Whow! What a beautiful boy (and three girls of course). Congratulations for all of you. I love your saying: ....and one day... a man of peace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky darling baby to be born into a loving, adoring family. I love the four generations photograph, very rare. Jess is beautiful and yes, unusual for most former post-partums like us who were overwhelmed, overbloated, over-exhausted with the first childbirth. With Ryan belonging to a wonderful, supportive and nurturing family, more good things are coming.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at the women's hands with their all those symbolic rings :-)
Beautiful photographs and always KJ, I love your contagious smile.
A beautiful post. Congratulations grandma. Your smiles have made me smile. I wish you all many happy times. Grandmas are special.
ReplyDeletegj, thank you
ReplyDeletemenchie, jess still looks like her fashion-self. i can't say why or how!
wieneke, oh wieneke, i cannot get into your blog. please know i am trying. yes, 'a man of peace'--i hope my love for this child contributes to that in large and small ways
ces, yes the hands and rings. i hasten to add i have the smallest little diamond among us. but i am starting to visualize otherwise...hehehe
caroline, thanks for stopping by. some photos are so easy to smile for, and this was certainly one of them. seeing my mom hold her great grandson was pretty neat.
Aaahh!
ReplyDeleteIt is always a miracle to see and hold a baby..Wow!
I have four (5,16,19,21) but I am still a few years away from being a grandparent..that will be awesome!

He's beautiful! (And coming from me that means something because no matter how precious they are, I think most newborn babies are ugly.) Congrats to you and your (growing!) family!
ReplyDeleteHe's a beauty, KJ. Adaorable as anything. I'm so jealous! (I *so* need more children in my life.) I've been keeping an hourly watch on Cyclone CeCe (on my blogroll) who is about to give birth any second and I'm so excited!
