It's a Girl

IT"S A GIRL .......

It's Grandma and Grandpa Pirotta's first pink bundle in 32 years!!!!! Greg and Chirlie had a baby girl at 5:01 pm today. She was a 7 pound 4 oz bundle. It is our fourth grandchild and the first girl born into our little family in 32 years. Grandma could not be more excited and grandpa could not be more broke. lol - If it is pink and within the surrounding 20 miles - we own it. hahaha

It has been a busy week. Grandma also fell and broke 5 bones in her body. She broke her humerous bone in 3 places, her pinky, and the back of her hand. She can not use either side of her body. She has been hurting all week. But the new baby has brought new joy to a very trying week for her. Keep her in your prayers.

Tony also had a great week! He went to the state capital with four of his students. They were chosen for a bill they wrote and asked the legislature to pass. Tony and his students have been on the news for the last three days. Way to go Tony!

This is so exciting

I am so excited about blogging! I have fertilized our little tree trunk and it has already begun to get branches. With Lynn, Gary, and Justin's family we have the very strong Shook branch started. With me and Tammy the Pirotta branch. Yet with Arlene, and Stan the Thompson branch. A tree with three branches is a very cool start, but my tree needs lots of branches. So please get all your children and grandchildren to participate. This idea is going to connect a family so scattered across the country into one tree - one family. In days gone by, we use to have family reunions where everyone would come, but with miles between us expanding, it is harder to achieve. This is a place where we can continue to tell our stories and relate to each other.

Our family is waiting on pins and needles for the first girl in 32 years. Sue comes from generations of all girls. Then she was swept off her feet into joining me in 32 years of producing boys. Tony and Greg, followed by Amber and Tony's three sons Jacob, Logan, and Isaac. Greg and Chirlie are due any day with their first and it is a girl. Grandma has already gone hog-wild at the stores (plural) and grandpa is just waiting patiently to hold his little grand-daughter for that first time.
There is something special about newborns. They are filled with secrets from the eternities. They are so soft, so pure and innocent. I will keep you posted. Love to all!
