Nana (me) with Benjamin
Our newest grandson, Benjamin Michael Kennedy, has been born! Arriving at 12:59 p.m. yesterday, July 10, 2010, Ben weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and has dark hair and dark eyes. Mom, Dad, and Baby Ben are doing well–so well, in fact, that they already came home from the birthing center last night by 6:00 p.m.! Ben’s big brother, John Daniel, welcomed his baby with open arms and lots of kisses. Thank you, God, for sending this little miracle of love into our family!
