The Most Beautiful Girl in The World Isn't Garbo, Isn't Dietrich


Monday's Child is fair of face .


Lea, our first grandchild, debuted today, November 17 at 8.6 lbs and 22 inches. We are all exhausted after a full day of work. I was in the delivery room when she made her appearance and I had the honor of cutting the cord.

Welcome to the world, baby girl.

    Hi Carolyn! Congratulations! What a sweet little granddaughter you have there! You are in for some fun times and lots of cuddles! I just love being a grandma to my one grandchild, who, at 10 months old, is crawling, pulling himself up on things, and of course grabbing anything in reach.

    Ohmygoodness! You were able to bond with this beautiful child sooner than the rest of us grandmothers! I'm sure you're still walking on clouds. :-) Hope mother and daughter are both doing well.
