We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Blog Program For This Important Annoucement
We used to sing an old Reno and Smiley number around the house a lot. One line was “An Angel sent from Heaven you’re everything that’s good. You’re perfect just the way you are I wouldn’t change you if I could.” Well, except for diapers it’s true all over again.
We just had the addition of our first grandchild to our family. He has a full head of hair, a fine smile, excellent temperament, nurses well, recognizes family already, and I believe he likes mandolin music. I played “Over the Rainbow” in a chord melody for him, and he went right to sleep. (A full stomach didn’t hurt anything, I’m sure.)
I once read that some men are driven to be creative because deep down inside they know they can never create anything as wonderous as a baby. I agree with that. How could anything be more beautiful?
We have hundreds of pics, but I won’t hit you with all of them. These two are of me with the baby and my daughter right after the lullaby.
I’ll tell you more about my artistic projects soon. I will do my best, but don’t expect them to be that dramatic. Nothing could ever trump a grandchild.

Bill just said, “That’ll do more to help him recover than anything any Doc can do.” Nothing against the doctors here, we just know how precious a new life is in a family. Bill held our 3rd grandson after 9 months of chemo and radiation, and started uphill right away.
You’ll do even better, since you already appear to be on the way up.
Congratulations Pap!

Granny Pam,
Thanks so much.
I’m a Doc but I 100% agree there is more to healing than medicine alone. Tell Bill one of my favorite old sayings: “The best doctor knows they ought to be out earning an honest living, but enjoys practicing medicine too much to quit.”

Baby is definitely a keeper! I think the whole family is head over heels. That’s saying a lot for a bunch of ol’ North Carolina tarheels. Love ya Dad!

You’ll always be Baby Bibey to me. Some things never change and I’m one of ’em!

What a beautiful baby, and grandfather, and a whole family consumed with joy, As my Beloved Babs says, “I thought I knew what love was, then the grandchildren came and things got even better.”
Congratulations and thanksgivings for your new joy.
October 17, 2011 at 8:42 pm
Awww Doc, you’ve outdone yourself this time! That little bundle will pretty much rule you and The Wife for the next several years! And you’ll both be happy to let him! I am soooo happy for you all!
October 17, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations to you & your family! There are no words to describe how very special the grandchildren are!

It is so overwhelming I about can’t find words, but God knows what God is doing- that I am certain of.
Dr. B

Bless your heart Karen. So good to hear from you. I was ill this summer and slow to keep up with all my writer pals. I am improving some now though. The grandchild is a true blessing and he helps me to heal.
Looks like “Australia Sam” made the final cut and stayed in the children’s coloring book. It is due out after the first of the year, and I’ll send you one.
