Okay, sorry for the delay.
Data and observations:
Number 8 great-grandchild
Fine healthy boy born at 0430 Mountain time 9/21/2023, 6lb 12oz, 20inches long.
New Mom and child both in splendid condition. (New Dad is reported to be doing well also.) Expect to be released and on their way home by tomorrow morning, per my sources (aka Grandma).
Personal notes
After the number of births we've already had, I've finally got my role in all this down to:
Await the summons from Grandma/the New Mom to come view our newest from my designated soft chair by the fireplace. (That's so I can read to/with other cousins in the area, briefly hold/bond with the new kid and take occasional naps as required.)
Just got another reason to make certain I leave a better place for them to grow/live than I was blessed with.
Congrats Grandpa!
You paint a beautiful picture. Blessings on you all!
What an excellent update. Obviously the baby is in the very best of hands, spanning multiple generations. He is blessed to have all of you; couldn’t ask for a better network.
(Visualize a snappy salute)
Congratulations on your new little guy. Blessings to your family with his arrival.
You are a wealthy man!
A somewhat delayed “Congratulations!”
Best of wishes to your whole family!

Lovely. Congratulations! Many blessings on the new baby and on all of you.
