Gran X 3

September - my birthday month. Two years ago I had no grandchildren - just one on the way. This year, by my birthday, I will have three! How my life has changed in these two years.

Jack, John Michael Harlow, grandson number 1. First grandchild, like his mother was, on my side. Typical first child, overachiever (he can spell his name!) enjoying the attention of everyone he meets. He's my muffin man, and I'll happily make him as many muffins as he can eat!

Clara Beth, Clara Elizabeth Harlow, granddaughter number 1. My little Ruby Jill. First great-granddaughter for Mike's parents, amidst 7 great-grandsons. Such a longed-for little girl.

Doc, don't know his real name yet, Holmes. First grandson for Bob and Debbie, my little Aussie mate. I can only pray we will see him often enough for him to get to know his American grandparents. I can't wait to meet him, and I'm taking a month off work, and going to the opposite side of the world, just to do that.
