Baby Pictures . . . . Finally

Sorry for all of the delay in getting these photos on the blog. We had a wireless connection at the hospital, but for some reason could not get to the page that let us add a post. Even email was not working all that great so everything had to wait until we got home today.

Benjamin Shea Grenz came into the world at 6:57 AM on Friday, July 18th. As you can see from the previous post, we fully anticipated having a couple more days to enjoy Gretch with the basketball in her belly, but found very quickly that "my little BOY" would be with us much sooner than next Tuesday. Gretch woke up at 3:00, left for hospital at 4:30, and you can figure out the rest. Ben came in at a strapping 6 pounds, 6 ounces and 17.5 inches long.

Thank you to everyone for the texts, calls, visits, gifts, cards, emails, and running shoes. What, you did not send me a new pair of running shoes yet?!?!? Well, get with the program, people.

Baby Ben loves to sleep, eat, and "clear room" for more eating.


The proud big sisters. What a nice hug, Paige.


Looks like a set of feet that belong to a future runner.


The beautiful mom with the handsome prince. (And I don't mean the artist formerly known as Prince)


This is our favorite photo of the newest Grenz boy. Not sure where the dimple came from, but we sure do like it.
