Well, I haven't updated my blog in forever and even seriously considered shutting it down but my daughter has persuaded me to keep it by threatening to take me out of her "favorites" so I decided not to lose my status and try again, LOL!! For other reasons, I am glad I hadn't acted on my thoughts because I want to share the details on our newest grandchild, Parker. Parker was born to Mark and Christy on May 8th. Ironically, Christy's college graduation was the same day but obviously she didn't make that event. But it was wonderful timing otherwise, because Ken, Brent and I could be in town for his birth. Christy used a midwife and delivered Parker at home, yes, in her own bed! All I can say is, wow....she's got guts! But the birth went perfectly and we were able to see and hold the baby very shortly following his birth. He weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He has a head full of dark hair and large hands and feet. He seemed very calm and had some wakeful times where he just seemed so mellow. He is a beautiful baby and we are so excited to have him join the family and especially carry on the Dorff surname. He is the first great grandchild to do so. Now for some pics...

When Mark sent the email to the family saying that Parker had big hands, I didn't take it seriously. But looking at the pictures, he really does have big hands! He's so cute. I've been bragging how cute he is like crazy :)
Congratulations on the new grandbaby! he is beautiful. I Hope we will get to see you all at the family reunion next month in August. It will be good to see you! here is the address to my blog!
