My Little Irish Three....

My youngest son, Todd and his wife Colleen, are parents to My Little Irish Three, Kelsey, Owen and Kieran. I decided to develop this blog today, which is Keiran's first day of life. Kelsy and Owen, my first grandchildren were born on December 16, 2000. They are fraternal twins. I remember their first day of life like it was yesterday, and yet, it has been nine years ago. I remember thinking on their first birthday that Kelsey looked just like Wendy, my daughter, her Aunt. Owen looked just like his Dad, even to Todd's signature hairline.

I remember getting a call from Todd saying, "The twins are here!" My Mom, who was visiting for Wendy's Wedding, and I jumped into my truck and drove straight to Belks. We loaded up on blankets, sleepers, and little outfits. We had them gift wrapped, and then we headed straight to the hospital, which was about an hours drive away.

I remember how strange I felt looking at my youngest son Todd, and thinking that he had been the first of my four children to make me a Grandmother. I guess this is a circle of life thing. These sweet babies meant that my life had come full circle. I was happy with the beautiful Grandchildren, which my son and his wife had presented me.

Colleen shares that same name as my Mother. They were both born in the month of July. Kelsey and Owen were born in the month of December, the same, month that their Daddy was born. Now, my new little Kieran is born in the same month as my Father.

With each new Grandchild comes new hope and new dreams. Kieran, you are my sixth Grandchild, but I am as excited at your birth as if it was my first experience at being Grandma. I can hardly wait to meet you.
