Many of my readers are also friends on Facebook, so they have already heard this news. For the others, Kathy & I became grandparents for the first time on January 19! Edison Scott Dills was born to our son Scott and his wife Kristin.
I haven’t yet had a lot of opportunity to take pictures with my camera – I have A LOT of pictures that I’ve taken with my phone! This past weekend I had my camera and got a few shots I like. Many of them are blurry and out of focus – tells me I need a faster and closer focusing lens! Hey, any excuse is a good one!
For anyone interested, I have been keeping and updating a gallery on Google Photos of pictures taken with my phone. Feel free to take a look!
Congratulations to all of you! This is wonderful news. Of course as the grandparents you’re going to be getting the best deal in all this but pass on my wishes of joy and happiness to Scott and Kristin. I would wish them perfect, restful, sleep-filled nights for the next few months but let’s face it, we know that would be futile 😉
Enjoy grandparenthood!
Thank you, Cedric! It’s all very exciting, and quite an experience to see your kids become parents. I keep hearing about grandparents having the best job, and we’re looking forward to finding out!
Edison is a cutie! So glad everyone is healthy and doing well. Sounds like a great reason for a new lens. 🙂
Everyone is doing great, Brooks! I’m definitely going to need a faster lens once he starts moving.
Congratulations to the parents and the grandparents, Tom! A newborn kid is a life-changing experience for everybody, parents as well as grandparents. But the grandparents will have the definite advantage of still being able to sleep at night 😉
Thank you, Markus! Yes, we are very glad to have done our tour of duty with midnight feedings. Although it’s probably just a matter of time until we get to have him for a weekend while they work on #2! 😉
Congratulations and a sweet set of images. Have fun !!
Thank you, Karin! It’s been a blast so far. Just wish we had time to see him more often than once a week. Although they are probably glad we have day jobs!
