A new baby in the family

After nine long months of waiting and anticipation, our newest grand daughter came into the world on Nov 17, 2009. Born to Melanie and Daniel Burk. I was lucky enough to be at the birth after a delay in flying stand by from San Diego to Salt Lake and then Michael picked me up form the airport to make the dash down the freeway to the American Fork hospital. Melanie had been in the process of laboring naturally all day long. Maggie arrived into the world minutes after I walked into the room. I felt extremely blessed to be present for the miracle of this grand daughters birth! I also enjoyed spending the next week helping new Mom Melanie and new Dad Dan with getting settled into new born babyland. Then the rest of the immediate family, Keith, Kimberly and Charity came from San Diego, and Mike joined us from near-by BYU, to have a memorable Thanksgiving together... which we enjoyed in Melanie and Dan's cozy basement apartment. Taking turns passing the baby of course!
