Early in the new year Kate and Tom welcomed this beautiful little guy into their life. He was good enough to arrive at the best time for travel to India, so all of our hopes and plans worked out, and I was able to be present with my daughter for the birth and to hold my youngest grandson in his first minutes. This photo is a selfie I took of him on my chest. Mom and Baby are doing great, and so is Grandma, in spite of lingering jet lag! Thanks be to God!

He is so gorgeous. What do you call that shape of mouth? …..hmm maybe just perfect.

It made me think of a bird when I first saw Baby’s mouth, but now that I look at it more I think it is too beautiful to describe that way. 🙂

Congratulations on the birth of your new grandson! How amazing that you could be there for his arrival, in a land so far away from your California home.
All the best in health and happiness for 2018!
