LETTER TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER

Dearest Lyra, Welcome to the outside world. Doesn't your dad look proud!!

You arrived on January 21 right before midnight, I believe on a cold stormy night in the middle of winter. I understand your journey to the outside world was a little rough, but you are now in the loving arms of your parents, Michael and Jamie.

You are the only infant I know with a blog, and with parents like yours, your life will be filled with goodness.
