Meeting my Bay Area Baby

I was certainly privileged to have had the opportunity to visit with my son's beautiful new family. Q and C are working diligently to learn the nuances of their precious daughter. She is a lovely little sweetie who seems to possess the best of both parents' personalities and looks.

I've attempted to recall some of the many blessings during my stay in the Bay Area.
