New grandson!

I am delighted to announce the birth of Daniel Miles Loewen, 7 pounds, 7 ounces, at 2:24 p.m. on Friday, January 18 (though I am chagrined to be so tardy about this announcement - as I was three years ago with the birth of his sister Isabelle, or Izzy). He was very punctual, arriving on Christy's due date, no less!

Christy and Reggie and their children Izzy and Daniel live in Colorado, and as this picture from the following day in the hospital shows, she came through the birthing experience in great shape! Then yesterday she posted this precious picture of the kids napping, with Izzy carefully shielding and guarding Daniel.
