Once again Tabor's world has shifted dramatically, not with the agony or pain of an earthquake, but with the dramatic entrance of a new life. Grandchild number three arrived at the very end of March into this lovely family. Already Tabor follows this tiny face and eyes and actions as if this was a delicate needlework tapestry. Since she cannot see the big picture, yet, she will focus on the details.
Who will this new person be? How will he fit in with the solid and established family unit? Will he be the exotic and unique flower in this garden of love, or will he be the magnificent oak that spreads and overshadows all with his living energy, or will he fit in comfortably like a perfectly shaped shrub, unnoticed until we turn to check on him. Daddy wants an athlete, mommy wants a loving child, and the grandparents want a healthy and happy child. Can he meet all these expectations?
Within 24 hours he was trying, with much success, to lift his head when held against my shoulder, and therefore, I already know he is going to be a force to be reckoned with in years to come.
Congratulations to the whole family, and welcome baby boy, whoever you may become.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Hope Mom is doing well, also! Beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteNew baby, new life, new hope. So sweet. Congratulations to all!
ReplyDeleteA healthy baby boy! March went out like a lion, or no, a lamb. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI hope he will be everything you all hope for in the future. He certainly is a handsome baby - and the girl who is holding him is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cunning picture. Congratulations to all the happy family.
ReplyDeleteParent's and grandparent's expectations heaped on a new-born.
ReplyDeleteI know that you, Tabor, are far too sensible to lay a burden on him, happy and healthy, those are the right aspirations to have. All the rest will follow, or not.
Best wishes to baby and his new family.
Oh, how sweet. However he fits into this world, he will be loved.....Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWith your love & inspiration he'll do just fine. Congratulations grandma.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Nothing better than the smell of a new born baby, well most of the time that is.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Hope...that's what he brings. :)
ReplyDeleteA new grandchild is so full of mystery and promise. These days I have a great grandson to watch turn into a wonderfully charming person with his own take on the world, already evident at one and a half years. You will have so much pleasure watching this one grow!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he gorgeous! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Beautiful grandchildren!!
ReplyDeleteohhh, a new life, and already a source of joy, wonder and awe. congratulations, tabor, to you and your family! i am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteOh, this kind of moments, so overwhelming. I love it when they're still babies, when you can still hold them and only feed them milk.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy spending time whenever I'm with my nephew. He's a toddler but it's fun whenever he's around, it's great to daydream and think about what he's gonna be like.
And about your comment in my blog..
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed very appealing in my age. I get tired from every rapper declaring they're the best and how no one can ever be as high up like them in "the game".
Sometimes it's just childish. So I just listen to the Beach Boys and Amy Winehouse for a bit. Something to reclaim the good soul in me!
Beautiful photo. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThis is precious. I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, congratulations, may they all stay happy and healthy.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Grandchildren have been the unexpected bonus of getting older. Every Blessing for his future and for the whole family.
ReplyDeleteOh Tabor, so happy for you
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
Loving thoughts to all...
Oh big congratulations to you! What an absolutely gorgeous pair those two are. Sigh.. I'm so ready for grandchildren even though my kids are nowhere near ready. The post title... that song always makes me cry.
ReplyDeleteI had to look at this picture again.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is beautiful and this new baby looks picture beautiful. Like a big doll :)
I am so happy for all of your family. Many adventures ahead..

He is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAh, there's that new baby! Oh, so sweet, and the look on his sister's face is precious. I'll bet his brother is very excited about him too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Grandma, Grandpa and his proud parents and siblings. Good job, Mom!
I've been so busy with my offspring (spring sports), which caused me to miss so much that is happening in the lives of my bloggy friends.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the picture of your grandson in a newer post, I HAD to page back to see when he made his entrance.
Congratulations to you and all the rest of his loving family. May he be blessed and fortunate to have a long and peaceful life.
