He made it!!

Yesterday, my sister Marylyn had a beautiful baby boy. Yah, a boy! I thought we all forgot how to make those. That is grandchild 24 on the Merrill side. Boys 9 and girls 15! Congrates grandma and grandpa! Gavin Paul Bjorn came a couple weeks early. If the child has Merrill blood, early is OK though. We are known for our large babies! He weighed 7 lb. 12 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. He and mom are doing great! Marylyn is enjoying the new baby smells and all the cuddling. Annika (his older sister) loves being a big sister and is cute with him and his dad Andy is in love once again. Andy is such a great father! Can't wait to see the little guy. Wish they weren't so far away! Love you guys and congrates!

Congratulations Marylyn! Lauren was grandbaby #21 on Dan's side, Boys 14. Girls 7. Sounds like you've got the opposite going on! Hope little Gavin is doing well! He sure is cute.
