Today our newest grand son, Liam Michael Wender, was born!
Our daughter Claire gave birth to a beautiful, healthy boy weighing 6 lbs, 12 oz, and 17 inches long. That's a bit smallish for our end of the family, but it's quality we are measuring here, not quantity!
The kid got here fairly quickly and in the rush, my wife Mary managed to lock the doors on our RUNNING automobile. So, my bride took my car and rushed off to the hospital.
I stayed and waited on the locksmith. Liam got here so quickly I missed the "event", but no matter. I'm waiting for 5 years to go by so I can take this kid fishing. We only have to wait 3 years for Disney World. Won't be too long before I have both these young'uns and their Uncle Clint in a boat with a hook wet.
Here's a quick snap of a happy granddaddy and Liam on first meeting. Liam gets to meet his 2 year old big brother Gavin tomorrow! His education on SEC football commences tomorrow as well.
The freightdawg now has two AWESOME grand sons!!

Splatty, I cant believe you noted the Exel Shirt...dude thats an old shrt. 3-4 years at least. Laundry was dirty and we were in a hurry to get to the hospital! I grabbed what was in the drawer. I have a whole pile of DHL, Exel, APL, etc. (stuff)...
Wife would call it something else!
