Our daughter, Kelly, and son-in-law, Craig, became parents late last night. Sulllivan (Sully) Daniel Hochbein weighed in at 9 pounds, 2 ouches. First one.



What a wonderful feeling this is. Merry Christmas!
Retired and loving it.

    If I had known having grand kids was THIS much fun, I'd have had them BEFORE I had my kids :-)



    You will LOVE spoiling them.



    Congrats to all, including TLGM.

    Same Hospital!?

    We live in Louisville as well, and just had a daughter in August. The hospital (Baptist East) used the exact same blanket as the one pictured. Maybe I have something in common with a Holohan! ......Anyways, Congratulations!!!

    Careful dan

    Once they get started.................. they seem to come thick and fast.  And I'll tell you what, I don't think I could ever have too many grandkids. You'll come to appreciate the old joke about finding some way to have them first because they are so much fun!!!!!



    Congratulations to you and TLM.

    Thanks Dan. Not a day goes by that I don't wonder why I have been so richly blessed. They all live within 3 miles of home.
