And unto the world a girl child is born ...

Just received a call about an hour ago. I was in a meeting and the following wonderful news was left on my voicemail:

“Hi Mama, or I should say, Grandma! Sierra was born at 5:25 p.m. and she weighed 5-lbs 11.6 oz and is 17-3/4” long. A beautiful, beautiful little girl! I love you, Ma! ‘Bye!”

Couldn’t reach him, but I have no doubt that he is busy with his darling wife Kim, his son Nathan, and Kim’s mom, Robin, whose cell phone he used to call me from the hospital with his joyous news.

My youngest son, Owen, and his family are down in Fruita, CO and I’m way the heck too far up here in Birch Bay, WA. But my heart is right there with them as they celebrate their new arrival: Sierra Grace West.

I am so thankful for my growing family ... my grandkiddies Mikayla, Shelby, Alexxis, Nathan, Cole and now Sierra Grace are incredible human beings. I marvel at their fresh insights and individual personalities. OMG! How did I get to be this old?????
I couldn’t be happier than I am right now and everyone is safe and sound and life is unfolding just as it should!
