Dear friends,
I have good news to share. Our daughter gave birth to a beautiful little girl Tues. May 8th. :D ;)
Savannah Michelle was born 6 lbs.11 oz. 19.25 inches long, and very healthy. Our daughter and son-in-law are so in love with her. Of course, we think she's gorgeous and were surprised that she has quite a bit of coppery-blonde/red hair! Neither of the parents' hair is that color, but we have redheads in the family, so shouldn't be so surprised. ;)
My husband and I traveled to Ohio to see them Thurs. and Friday; it was a great early Mother's Day present!! I'm thrilled to be grandma. :)
Congratulations, Grandma! ;D
I love the name they picked and i'm sure all of you are so very proud of your new baby..
Congratulations! Great name for a redhead!!!! Enjoy Grandma!
Congrats! Babies are a gift from GOD.
Congratulations!!!! ;D
Love hearing that good news....
Congratulations Grandma! I just love her name. And strawberry blonde little girls are so cute ;D
That's wonderful news, Melinda! I can see your beaming smile all the way through the internet. ;D
Savannah Michelle:
As you grow, may you always be surrounded by a treasure trove of love and happiness in the hearts of your family and friends. May the light of heaven shine in you and around you and may peace and kindness find you wherever life might lead you.
And may the loving touch of your Grandma Melinda surround and comfort you no matter how far away you are.
With best wishes,
Daisy
Thanks so much for the well wishes! ;) Yes, think I've been beaming for nearly a week.
I so appreciate it...I smiled along until I read your post/prayer, Daisy, and then I smiled through a tear welling up. But, a happy tear, nonetheless. You have such a gift of writing with love and tenderness.
My thoughts and prayers are with you today, as always. :)
Melinda
Congratulations on your new sweet baby girl Savannah ! That is such a pretty name. Your whole family has been blessed. What a nice Mother's Day present for both Momma, and Grandmomma.
God Bless You Savannah

Meld, Welcome to the gramma club. We are all lucky women.
Your little one sound soo sweet. The hair color and name sure make her sound like a southern belle. You will be wanting to make that trip to visit a lot more often now.
I am also thrilled to hear that mother and baby are doing well and happy. Father too. !! Such a blessing for Mothers Day. Irish ;D
You never know about the hair. I have dark brown hair BUT when I was born up until 3 years old I had golden blond hair. Have not found the blonde in the family history yet.
Melinda
That's wonderful news. I love red hair too. Her name is beautiful. I can feel your pride from here :)
Daisy, you have a gift with words, and your prayer for Savannah is beautiful.

Congrats! A taurus :)
Good luck with your visit & enjoy!
Congratulations Melinda to you and your whole family on the birth of this sweet, perfect tiny baby. I'm sure she will bring much joy to all. Lucy
Congratulations on the birth of your baby granddaughter. Babies are the things that make life so full of.joy and sweetness. My eldest daughter is A taurus. She is sweet as pie with a wicked temper what a wonderful joy she will bring you.
Thanks for all the congratulations. :D
Yes, I'm happy to be in the Grandma's Club. It's a part of life I'm going to love.
We'll be traveling that 225 miles more often, I'm sure! And that little redhead melts my heart.
One family member laughed and told them "oh, a girl with red hair who's a Taurus; good luck with that!" ;)
She already seems to have a mind of her own. They put in the crib and she scoots just a little to turn on her right side...at less than 2 weeks old.
Thanks again, everyone.
