Bundle of Joy

On February 10 - after 37 hours of labor (Yikes!) - Cobra's daughter, Marilyn, gave birth to a darling baby girl. I have been in such need of a baby fix lately that it was just wonderful to go to the hospital to meet precious Marley. Last Tuesday, Jacob had the day off of school so the two of us headed over to Cobra's house to spend some more time with the little peanut. Marley is simply adorable and, on top of everything else, she is a happy and content child, too. Now if only the nine twenty-and-thirty-somethings in our family would get a move on, we could all enjoy even more baby time. Meanwhile, Marilyn, thanks for letting us play with your Marley. She is such a beauty!

Grandpa Fatty snuggled with Marley at the hospital.

Marley waited patiently for Jacob to make some more silly noises for her.

Marley snoozed in her beautiful circular bassinet.
