Tiny Gloat, a little late coming...

[Badabing]

Hi Everyone!

I haven't been around much lately but hopefully this post will help explain why I've been preoccupied!

On Sept. 14th my wife and I welcomed our very first grandchild into the family:eusa_clap Dakota Grace was born at 11:59am that day, 7 lbs. even, and 18.5 inches long. Mom and baby are healthy and happy.

I know it has been about five weeks since then but we are short handed at work and I've been covering extra shifts so time has been tight. I really miss everyone here and hope to get back on a better schedule soon! However, I didn't want to forget to post some pictures of our precious granddaughter!

My wife, Susan, and I with Dakota:

Thanks for looking!

Congratulations, Gramps!!! She's beautiful. I don't blame you for spending time with her but it's nice to have you back also...
Enjoy your time with her. She'll grow up fast!
