It looks like I will have to up date my screen name to WillowtreeWreninWinter.

My third grandchild was born on Tuesday, a little boy named Winter Jay.

That makes three dear grandchildren named:

Willow Rae
Wren Mai
Winter Jay.

So, just call me Willow tree Wren in Winter and I'm good to go!

Love the names, too - so creative, and they all rhyme! In about 16 years, the three of them could form a superb hip-hop group!

Welcome, Winter Jay! Congratulations, Ms. Grandma Aleta (or are you a Nana?)

So cute when they are that shiny new!

The names are fabulous.  I love names that are unusual without being some oddly-spelled mouthful that no one can pronounce.

Thanks!

Cariad, I go by Grandmom.  :2thumbsup;

I wish I could be there to hold him right now. Our awful schedule with teaching doesn't give us any time off again until October.

 :'(

Until then I have to be satisfied with pictures and Skype. Sigh.

I love the names, too.

And despite the fact that I worry about how this last pregnancy will impact our daughter's polycystic kidneys (and liver), I can hardly wait to see our new grandson.

It just goes to show that life continues on despite PKD/CKD. 

Your new grandson is so squishy!  He's lovely.  I'm so happy for you and your whole family!
