    I'm A Grandfather

    No joke. Yes, I know I'm too young. But my son got married in January, and on Tuesday, his wife had a son. His name is Ryan Alex and Dawn is practically glowing over being a grandmother.

    Here are a few photo's.

    Thank you for the comments Liz. They named him Ryan.

    We are going to see him again tomorrow, so there will be more photo's.

    I only took 173 the day he was born! I'm still trying to go through them and process them. Ah, the joys of digital.

    Re: I'm A Grandfather

    Welcome to the club Speed!!!! My third was born less than two weeks ago and I'm here to tell you there is nothing like it. I love being a grandparent and I know it's an experience that you are going to treasure as well. Keep those pictures coming and keep us up on Ryan's progress as he discovers what it's like to be a member of the human race with parents and grandparents that think he is the center of the universe.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: I'm A Grandfather

    Dude! That's awesome!! I have to laugh because we're pretty close in age and here you are a Grandpa and I'm just getting started with Gus!

    Your son certainly looks calm in the first shot. Not to be nosey but was the c-section planned? I know I didn't look that calm when I was waiting!

    I'm assuming, since you didn't say, that everyone is doing good and there were no problems. Little Ryan is certainly cute!

    Look at Dawn beam! And it's obvious that you're pretty proud of the newest addition too. Only 173 shots? Too busy holding him or queing up for grandpa holding time to take photos? ;)

    I, for one, am looking forward to seeing more photos.

    Pass on my congratulations to your son and daughter-in-law. And to you and Dawn!

    Congratulations to everyone, Speed! I'm sure you'll enjoy watching your grandson torment your son in the same ways he tormented you.

    Re: I'm A Grandfather

    Congrats! Isn't it an awesome experience? My first grandbaby was born in Feb '05 and I was there. I had my little point and shoot in my pocket and as soon as that baby was out so was the camera! I got some great candid shots. My second grandbaby will be here in May. I keep telling people that Shawna is getting me a baby for Mother's day. They just look at me like I'm a crack pot!

    WOW...Congratulations to ALL!!! Welcome to the Grandparent Club...LOL. Nothing like a grandbaby to make the smiles and pride come out. I'm surprised you only took 173 pictures though. I was a young on my first grand.......now I became a young 'great' in Sept. They are definately something special....Enjoy!

    You're right, from the photos I didn't think either of you were old enough to be grandparents.

    Thank you for the congrats. I'm finally settling in with the idea of being a grand-dad.

    And congratulations to you on your third!
