My birthday had already been a lot of fun, but I had no idea how good a birthday could get! I will now be sharing my birthday with my first grandson, Garrison Arthur Todd, born 7/29/11 at 11:24 p.m. - weighing 6 lb. 7 oz., 19 1/2 inches long. Ron and I had just started to watch a movie when the phone rang - Amanda was calling to tell us she thought her water had broken, they were taking Peyton to the neighbor's house, and then they were going to the hospital - could we come pick up Peyton and spend the night with her. We quickly threw together a suitcase (my stuff had been packed for a week), and headed to Olathe. Peyton was so excited to see us. Ron and Peyton were asleep when the text came that Garrison had arrived, so I drove over to St. Luke's South to meet my sweet little boy.
Chad, Ron, Peyton and I took donuts and balloons with us to the hospital Saturday morning to see Mommy and Garrison and had a great day. Ron and I came back to Clinton on Saturday night. Great-Grandma, Debbie Sieger and I went back to Olathe on Sunday morning to see Garrison and to take Peyton to lunch and "running around". She had a blast.
Garrison, Mommy, Daddy and Peyton all went home on Sunday afternoon to start their lives as a family of four.
God answered our prayers - a healthy baby and a healthy Momma - thank you God. We are blessed.
