Her name is Gretchen and she is 8 pounds 2 ounces and as hairy as they come The site of her made a tear run down my cheek ! That is my 1ST NEICE reguardless of what anyone says ;) I will be a REAL uncle in a few months though ;)

    Re: Proud Grandpa

    Great picture Ken, Congradulations! I just went thourgh the same experience less than 3 months ago and it is awsome. Seemas if the grandparent photographers are growing here at PR we may have to start our own little forum just to show off our images of the kids.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Proud Grandpa

    Thank you all!!! He is definitely something to be proud of. As are all of my grandkids. He is #7.
    Paul...Congrats to your Cousin...and to you...being an uncle...especially a "favorite" uncle is great. I have a namesake nephew...it's wonderful.
    OT...Yes OT, I remember well your grandparent pictures when I first joined PR...in fact...they are some of the reasons that endeared PR and Viewfinder to me. I really like your idea of a "Grandparents/Parents/Aunts/Uncles" Forum...of course...Viewfinder is kind of like that anyway...hehe..
    Anyway...finally have a day off tomorrow, and will try to get some of my photos together...but will post one more tonight that I kind of liked. Check it out...tell me what you think.
    Ken
