Shyanne went into labor the night after her birthday. Her husband, Jacob, and her dad and I were by her side. (Well, her dad was huddled in a corner chair trying to stay out of the way but anxious to meet our first grandson!) Friday morning at 11:43, after quite a hard labor, their first child was born. It was only a few hours later that he gave his parents their first grey hairs when he was whisked to the intensive care unit. But he got stronger, thank goodness, and was able to go home with his parents on New Year’s Day. The very best New Year’s present they could have received.

So my friends, allow me to introduce you to my grandson, Lochlan William Stewart. Our beautiful little boy. We are so grateful and madly in love!
