Welcome to the World, Parker!

This morning at about 6:30 (North Dakota time), my great-nephew Parker was born. My niece Lauren called her parents about 1:30 to let them know "it was time!" They hopped in the car, made the 2.5-hour trip from Bottineau and were in Bismarck with time to spare. The new Grandma (my sister Janis) was in the delivery room with her daughter as Parker make his appearance. And naturally, they're both quite smitten with the little guy! He weighed in at 8lb, 10oz, is 21 inches long and has dark hair like his ... Mom. Wow, that's sounds strange...Lauren is a mother. And okay, it's now official...I'm old.
