Carter Alex Gaynor is Born
Friday, February 3rd, 2012
Loading ...After waiting hour and after hour impatiently, Mom Jen finally did her thing. The first excitement was when Michael came into the waiting room with that “shit ass” grin on his face and I’m not sure he even knew what he blurted out but we knew the baby was born. Naturally we didn’t waste any time celebrating. Mark brought along a fine 21 year old single malt and then was the perfect moment. Come to think of it, why is alcohol part of every tradition, holiday?
Holding Carter for the first time brought back memories. In fact, it was nearly 26 years ago I held a newly born baby and now he is in Med School. That is how fast time zips by. But for now, Carter has black hair, my ears, changing blue eyes and is the attention of focus. He farts at will and doesn’t get yelled at so you know he has certain privileges. It was exciting to be in Chicago for 3 days enjoying and it was also exciting leaving Carter behind knowing that Mom and Dad will tend to his daily needs while we stroll into town on a whim. Hey, that’s the best part about being grandparents.
Thanks everyone who sent us email and text messages. The first one is always the special one. Upon arrival at work today, marketing got their little creative minds together, very cute:
Once we get “permission” to post photos, I will. In the meantime, life moves forward.
Happy Friday!
