A Granfather...I am!

Hello Community,
 
Today at 3:12 (CST) I became a Grandfather.  My son, Jeff, and his wife, Rajaa, had a daughter.  Her name is Baylasan.  Baylasan is Arabic for the Elderflower.
I was hoping for a girl.  My father had 8 brothers.  I have two sons and my brother has two sons.  It is great to have a girl in the family.  There is no way I can express how happy and pleased that I am.
Take care all,
Joe

Congratulations to you and your son and his wife. Spoiling grandchildren is one of the best pleasures in life. I have 5 granddaughters myself....no grandsons, and they are all spoiled by their grandfather.

Enjoy and celebrate, Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the kind message. I have already \"warned\" Jeff and Rajaa that I will be into spoiling. My wife and I have been celebrating...two (2) bottles of Champagne.

Hi Darlene,

Yes, it is exciting time. Jeff and I had a difficult time speaking as we were both tearing up. Yes, I really like the name.

Take care,
Joe
