... On 2-1-2017, we landed at Reagan National Airport. It was a cold, sunny afternoon; our second grandchild [John] was just 2 days old and we couldn't wait to meet him! The very next day we joyously celebrated his arrival at one of the quaintly charming restaurants in the D.C. area. Those were such beautiful times. [ Little could I have imagined what tragedy would befall the Potomac River nearly 8 years later].
Baby John; just minutes old: 1-30-2017
We've
always joked that John was born with the map of Ireland imprinted on his face! That
is to say, in appearance, our grandson has always undeniably favored the Irish ancestry
on his father's side (including both paternal grandparents) as well as that of
his maternal grandmother (i.e., 'me') !

age 21 monthsBut
now the birthday boy is 8; he is blessed by a great family, a winning smile,
and brains to boot!!
We love you dearly, and hope there are many more
birthdays to come...(we just need to keep the natural disasters and tragedies
far from your home in Arlington)...
Oh my! How time does fly !!
