Finally we are grandparents. You would think the older we get the faster the months would fly by – apparently that’s not the case with pregnancy – nine months is nine months; an eternity no matter how you look at it.
Ellen Paris Meir arrived at 1:30 am on Thursday December 31st. She weighs 8 pounds and 13 ounces, is 21.25 inches long and has a full head of dark hair. She is obviously the most beautiful baby in the country and I’m currently offering three to one odds for anyone who can find a more adorable newborn;-)
If anyone is looking for a special gift for that new grandparent I would highly recommend Ellen’s Christmas gift to Kate and I; a book titled “The Gift of Being Grand” by Marianne Richmond – a Minneapolis author. One of my favorite lines from the book reads; “Your house is for loving and cuddling and baking, stories and coloring and sweet memory making.” Just try not to cry after you read that.
Be sure to watch our Broadway windows over the next year for a glimpse of Ellen.
