My first granddaughter, Raelynne Grace Bradford, was born Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at 8:52 am. She weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. She is name Rae after Brianna Rae, my daughter who died at age 9, Lynne after my middle name, and Grace after her mom’s middle name. She was also born on Dave’s birthday, which makes her birth even more special.

We had to take to children to Tennessee so the timing was excellent. We got there on Friday, just as they were getting ready to leave the hospital. Mom and baby are doing well. I was able to take some photographs while I was there.
