This week there was a new parcel delivery that went perfectly.
Anybody who follows freightdawg.com knows that I put up new content regularly. This week has been an exception! On February 20th at 11:41AM our first grandchild, Gavin Joiner was born. Our daughter Claire and the baby are now home and healthy and happy. A great week for the Joiner clan! Between a hectic work week and this blessed event, Freightdawg took a little rest. In the meantime our family added 8 lbs 2oz of perfection.
Just call me "Grandpaw". I'll put up with the teasing just to enjoy holding this little fellow. My sister teased me the other day about this and I said "but you're a great aunt!" in retort, she said ..."I was always a GREAT Aunt!. You're GRANDPAW!"
Yes I am. And blessed to be so. Look for more freightdawg topical stuff next week.

Contratulations Eric,
I get to see my parents enjoy my three young children so I know the pleasure your grandson will bring you. Hope you get to spend loads of time spoiling him in the years to come.

Congrats Eric,
Little Gavin looks great...maybe he could be Freightpup? I have a little one on the way in six months and this article and corresponding newborn pictures got me pumped up for my next arrival

Thanks guys. Rich, here are some clues... thats not the "most recent picture of me" on the sidebar of this site..just the most recent head shot.
Second, I'm 46 so I am pretty young, but Claire is only 20. My own parents were very young (teens) when i was born. The upside is that I had all 4 of my grandparents until well into my 30's. That was a true blessing to me personally.
That support and my parents hard work resulted not only in college degrees for them, but masters degrees with honors for both. I was a little kid when my parents went to night school. Both my parents are senior executives in their respective firms now.
Anyway, I really, really love kids. They are as close to Gods beauty incarnate as it gets.
Eric

You're one of the youngest-looking grand "paws" I've ever seen! Congratulations!
