                     23 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 23rd birthday today ...
he is now  6'5-1/2", or 77-1/2"!













Oh the memories!
 






  from Proud Mama and Dad ...



Your Proud Parents.



                           

                                          And your Proud Grandparents.


  
 And the whole crazy family.
 

Happy 23rd Birthday Jordan, aka Grandhunk #1.
We all love you!

Happy birthday to your first grandson. How lovely to see him in your adorable pictures as he gets older. And how wonderful to see him with your grand family. I can feel the love they share for each other.
The birth of grandchildren really is the best gift we can get as we get older.
Congratulation, dear Jacki!
