Another Grandson!!!

The due date for our second grandson (Jeremy, our son, and daughter-in-law Jennifer knew for some time that the next addition was a boy) was June 10th. However, Jenn starting having contractions on Friday, June 4th. Margaret-Ann (who had just returned from visiting her sister in Dallas – good timing!!!) drove down to Toronto to pick up our grandson, Will, and bring him back to Brampton; enabling Jeremy and Jenn to concentrate on more pressing matters. When I asked Will if anything exciting was going on at his house, he said, “no”; but after thinking about it for moment he said, “I think the baby is gong to pop out.”

Well it took a little while – Jeremy took Jenn to the hospital around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 5th – but at 6:21 a.m., 8 pound 10 ounce Benjamin did, in fact, “pop out”. Benjamin, Jenn and Jeremy are all doing fine!!! Jeremy and Jenn again decided on a Celtic/Irish middle name – Fionn (pronounced Fin). Will’s middle name is Eoghain (pronounce Owen).

Will, Margaret-Ann and I drove to the hospital around noon to get our first look at Benjamin.

Will, looking very pleased, and Margaret-Ann see Benjamin for the first time.

 

  Baby Benjamin just wants to sleep after a hard day’s work.

 

  Benjamin has a well deserved rest on his birth day.

 

Will helps Margaret-Ann with his baby brother.

Jeremy, Jenn and Will look pretty happy – Benjamin just looks tired.

 

Will would like to play; Benjamin would like to sleep.

Jeremy looks like he wants to join Benjamin in dreamland.

 

And so another page is turned. Stay tuned as Margaret-Ann and I report on the continuing adventures of Jeremy, Jenn, Will and Benjamin. Welcome aboard Benjamin!!!
