Grampal 2/ no 3 coming

[Al]

Might be a bit busy and apologize if any body's been looking for me but daughter Tara had an 8 lb. 3 oz. baby girl last night Mairin Leslie. So I just might have to hold the baby and might not have time to type for a day or 2. AL.

[joejoe]

Congratulations to you Al. Bet she looks just like you !!:)

Al,
Congratulations on the birth of your Grand-daughter Mairin Leslie, I am sure she is and is going to be the apple of your eye. Remember grand kids ore for spoiling rotten and then sending them back to Dad and Mom. Believe me my mom Maggie is Granny's little Princess. Have fun with the new baby.

God Bless,
Ellisa

Congratulations they are both beautiful little girls.

Al -

Those granddaughters of yours a just precious. You are blessed to have survived long enough to greet them into this world. Likewise they are blessed to know their grandfather. I hope you are cherishing every moment.

Except, of course, for the loud and/or messy stuff - but then you can just pass them back to their parents. :-D

[Paty]

I am glad you liked it, guess what? I printed this picture today it comes out very nice, so have your son print it (on photograph paper). (Couche).

This is a hobbie which helps me to take off the stress, I usually work at night while my husband watches T.V.

Sincerely

Paty :)

[hopingforthebest]

Congrats Grandpa Al! I have two grandbabies, one boy and one girl. I love my little boy but buying clothes for our baby girl is the best! Raising two sons and not having sisters, I am having a ball! Enjoy her and congrats to all!

Patty and George

[Beebe]

Hi Al, What great news!! Love my Grandchildren. Bring a lot of joy. Looking foward to updates. Fondly, Beebe

[Al]

The kids want a surprise so we won't know the sex until birth. We're a bit old fashioned that way I guess. Lee sews and loves making dresses for the 2 granddaughters we have. She doesn't do boy stuff but boys run in Mario's family so maybe she'll have to learn.
AL.

[laurel]

Congratulations Al. How do I see your granddaughter's photo? I must be totally computer dumb as everyone else has seen it with no problem.
Laurel

[Al]

Doh! We upgraded the software a while back and it removed most stored links. I'll put some pictures in.
AL.

[fiddleplayer51]

Congrats, Al and Lee! You're lightyears ahead of us on the grandchildren. We haven't even gotten our daughters married off yet!
Lee, if it's a boy, you can always make shirts. They're kind of like short dresses...just a thought...:idea: :smile:
You're going to run out of lap space!
Take care,
Jane

[Al]

My favorite pic of Mairin from Canada Day last year and Samantha in June at Subic in the Philippines. Mairin is now 18 months Sam is 3.
