Meeting Our First Great-Granddaughter

Monday Afternoon, August 6

Oh, how delightful to meet Jade Mackenzie Rohrer – our third great-grandchild – but our first great-granddaughter. Born Friday night, August 3 – about 11:00 PM. 7 lbs. 2 oz.

She is so tiny and perfect.

I was amazed by the very small ID band on her tiny wrist.

It was wonderful to hold a baby girl. We haven’t had a baby girl in our family since Gloria was born 17 1/2 years ago. The last five babies have been boys: Ian, Jared, Jesse, Anthony, and Nicodemus.

I could have held her all afternoon.

She is the first child of our granddaughter Jenna and grandson-in-law Dustan. Jenna didn’t want me to post a picture of her in a hospital gown – so I located this one from a few weeks ago. 🙂

I love this picture of Dustan and Jade (photo courtesy of Chris).
