It's a tie!! Two most beautiful granddaughters.

Careful you don't blow the buttons off of your shirt.

Congratulations.

I hope that you and Mrs. ChiO are walking on air for some time to come and enjoying "spoiling" those beautiful girls. Congratulations to Naomi Louise and Blake Christine on their good taste in grandparents.

Well, JF, I don't think so. There are boys in that picture...and I've been blessed to be surrounded girls -- one sister, two wives (yes, the ex- & I get along quite well), two daughters, and two granddaughters. I wouldn't know how to behave around a boy (though Mrs. ChiO says I just don't know how to behave, period).

Thanks all around for the well-wishes.

It's another GIRL!!!

A nephew (my sister's older son) and his lovely wife have provided the family with Pearson Grace. 7 lbs, 10 oz.

Haven't seen a picture, but she's undoubtedly my parents' #3 to hold the title of Most Beautiful Great-Grandaughter in the Universe.

Once again my Maureen made me proud. She told me yesterday that she told one of her customers that he sounded somewhat like Jimmy Stewart later in his life. He thought it extremely on target as he was from Indiana, Pennsylvania. She also enjoyed conversations about Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea and Cary Grant with another customer. She is catching the attention of some of her older customers. It also helps that she is cute but she gets that from her mother,
