I am very excited and proud to announce the birth of my first grandson, Samuel Lee. He was born this morning at 1:11 am to my son and daughter-in-law, Nathan and Sarah. He weighs in at 7 lbs, 9 oz, 19 inches long. The whole family is doing fine.
I should point out that I do have two grandsons, the twin boys of my husband’s son. I love them very much and consider them my own grandchildren. However, Samuel is my son’s first son, I was able to be a part of the pregnancy all the way through to the delivery (in spirit if not in body :-)). I will be able to hold my infant grandson in my arms. Just typing that brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I hope to get to San Diego to meet Samuel this weekend. In the meantime, lots of pictures will hopefully be coming my way. Plus, I’m thinking FaceTime will be pretty cool too. Alan is already coming up with nicknames (Slamming Sammy was the first). Just call us Grandma and Grandpa!

oh my goodnessss!!!!! congrats! that is so exciting!! i am so happy for you, grandma la quinta ;o) he is so precious and perfect! so lucky to have a grandma like you!!! <3
Thank you. I like Grandma La Quinta even better than Mama La Quinta 🙂
Dynamic Debbie gets a Slamming Sammy! So happy for you grandma! What will your g-ma name be? Or do you already have a name you love from your current two grandboys? Celebration day for you all!
The other boys just call me grandma (or Debbie). That’s a long story, we didn’t know they existed until about 2 years ago. A son my husband didn’t know he had, was adopted, then found us.
Anyway, thanks!
I’m so happy for both of them and you (grandma). What an exciting time and I’m sure facetime will become very important now!
Facetime was awesome! I loved seeing him move and hearing him squeak!
That’s so fantastic, congratulations! He’s lucky to have you! 🙂
Awww, thanks 🙂
So exciting Debbie! Congratulations to you and your family! Be sure and show us those pics of you holding Samuel! xo
I’ll ignore the idea that you’re old enough for grandkids and simply congratulate you on all 3 of your grandboys! Whoo Hoooo.
so so so SO SO SO sweet.
congratulations.
Congratulations! Is he going to be a runner? 😉
I’ve been told that those look like runner’s legs :-).
