New Grandma!


I am proud to announce that I am a new grandma as of January 10th, 2009!  Our daughter, Sarahjoy, had Gabriel after only 9 hours of natural labor.  She had a midwife and gave birth in a birthing tub. He was 20" and 8 lbs 12 oz at birth.  His APGAR score was 10!  He is darn near perfect!  During labor, they did a  lot of walking in their side meadow in the full moonlight. Julio was his normal patient and loving self and really supported the labor and birth process. They are quite happy and getting used to Gabriel's schedule.  In this photo, Gabriel is only about 2 hours old!  





Julio's mother, Cecilia, has been coming over
to help with the work of keeping the house going for them. She is an angel!  Here you can see that she is adoring this new grandson!






My husband and I will be going to Costa Rica to meet this new young man in our lives!  He will be the center of attention for some time!  Gabriel is our first grandchild!  In our family, the generations are longer than in many.  Each of the last 3 generations are over 30 years!    I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!
