Love at first sight

The anticipation of going to Halifax to witness the miracle of birth of my first grandchild is indescribable. It was just as well that I had occupied my time finishing projects that needed to get done before my departure! I gave myself lots of time to be there in order to visit with Valerie & Richard, to offer any assistance...and distraction as we waited for baby's arrival.


















Newborn Kilian (5 minutes old)

My experience of witnessing Kilian's arrival was emotionally overwhelming, needless to say. And I wasn't the one who was hormonally-frazzled and in labor for more than 36 hours with minimal sleep! It was an Amazonian effort for Valerie and it was a proud moment when Kilian was presented to her: truly a God's child.

From that moment, I could not help loving this child as I had when I held Valerie (& Michael) for the first time.

So, here are some more photos of Kilian for those who are not in Facebook:
