A new chapter begins

It's true. Last Sunday, Mrs. RWP (the lovely Ellie) and I met our first great-grandchild, a boy, our baby's baby's baby. He was 10 days old, having arrived on July 20th. He is perfect and has lots of dark hair.

We are over the moon. This is the first time since my grandfather died in 1970 that our family has experienced having four generatios alive at the same time. It is a momentous occasion, to be sure, for all concerned.

So here are a few photographs of the new mom and dad, the new paternal grandparents, and the new paternal great-grandparents:

I'm sure there must be other things going on in the world, but right now I don't care about any of them.

    2. It seems, from my viewpoint, that your comments have arrived with no problems, but Blogger was ever a law unto itself. Nil desperandum, m'dear. Hehehe...

  3. Congratulations! It doesn't seem quite real when one's grandchildren start having babies of their own, but it is certainly a joy.

    1. Thanks for commenting, jabblog! We are still trying to come to grips with understanding the fact that our baby's baby has had a baby.. But you are definitely right; it is a joy!
