I am thrilled to announce the arrival of Andrew Dale Garlick, born last night at 7:23 pm, PST. He weighed in at 7lbs. 14oz. and is 19 3/4" long. Here you see him taking a little snooze in the arms of his mother, Kristin Catmull Garlick. He made is entrance at St. Vincent Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Just down the street (as a matter of speaking) from where his Dad, Davin, was born during THE BIG windstrom, November 14, 1981. Who would have thought!!??!!
I love those "OK. Now where have I gotten myself to?" looks.
Kristin poses here after what she termed her "dream delivery." Thanks for taking care of that in the daytime for us so there were no all-night "nail biters" for the grandparents. Good job!!! We love you. You are a "dream."
So. . . some go and some come. Barry and I couldn't help reflecting on our friend's son leaving earth this week while our dear little Andrew came.Goings and comings. This is life. And as my Mother observed after 87 years of goings and comings, "Life isn't what I thought." My thinking is, "If life isn't what we think then we'd better listen to another mother who said, 'Come what may and love it.'" Life is good.
P.S. The count now stands at 9 grandsons and 2 granddaughters.
Congrats on your beautiful grandson!!

Thank you for your comment. It was great to hear from you. Davin's son is beautiful. Isn't it amazing how far we have all come? Davin was always so good and a great example to us all. Please tell him Hello for me, as well as Karen and Brian.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to hear from you! Aren't these blogs great? It's such a fun way to keep in touch. Davins kids are just beautiful. Keep in touch. :)
