The new family: Anne, Aaron and Lily at their home in Holland, Massachusetts April 24, 2008 (Miss Lily is 10 days old).

Donna and Anne smother Lily with hugs and kisses.
When a baby is born, so is a grandma, so the saying goes. And, becoming a grandma is all that I had heard it would be - thrilling!! And most importantly without all the exhausting pacing the floor at night, feeding, changing diapers, etc., etc., etc.
When you meet a grandbaby you fall in love instantly. It is a joyful feeling that defies the capabilities of language to capture. All at once calm and peaceful but exhillerating. Sort of a pay day for having been a parent.
Lily: be forewarned. You will be smothered with love all of your days!!!
