Shout! Shout! Elijah rocks!

Posted on May 23, 2017 by Gordon C. Stewart

Elijah fought his way into the world yesterday with the push of a very weary mother. His middle name is Andrew, named after his uncle, his mother Kristin’s younger brother.

Excited by the birth, I phoned a friend. “Hey,” I said, “I’m a grandson! Kristin just had a grandfather!” The grandson weighs 190. The grandfather 8.1.

Shout! Shout!

Yes, and I have been known to put tire in my airs, and I didn’t even have your good reason. 😊. Bless Elijah and all the family.

  I’ll have to remember to put some tire in my airs on the way to visit my new grandfather today.

  Thank you, Nancy. This birth was nip-and-tuck with mother requiring emergency surgery to stop bleeding. All is well. Baby is BEAUTIFUL!
