Thanks to Charters, Officials, Helpers, Competitors & Parents

21 years ago today I met my first grandson!
Jordan Bassel Salloum. 



For the Grandparents out there, you know how special that is!
I was blessed to be in the birthing suite and 
watched this young couple prepare to be three.
The love that permeated the room was as palpable.
When the time was right, Jordan made his entrance.
7 pounds, 14 ounces ... 21-1/2 inches. Healthy!
I went to watch as the nurse laid him in 
the bassinet for his tests and measurements. 
He turned his head to the side, brought up both arms
and with two fists made his first impressive bicep curl.
So maybe we should have had an inkling then ...
that on his 21st birthday today ...
he is now 21 and 6'5-1/2", or 77-1/2"!














Oh the memories!









 
So Sunday evening, after church. we met at 
Reunion Kitchen to celebrate Jordan's birthday Monday,
    since he has school and work Monday evening.














Proud Mama



Proud Parents.



                           

                                          Proud Grandparents.


  
 And the whole crazy family.
Happy 21st Birthday Jordan, aka Grandhunk #1.
We all love you!








A smile for Monday ...
