                     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!

Sometimes you get lucky.

We were when WonderWoman met Superman.

She had had boyfriends, but none serious.

Thirty years ago she came home saying she met a guy 

at the gym who said that she didn't know it, 

but he was going to marry her. 

Our reactions were dubious at best.

I regret those doubts now, realizing he was, and is a blessing. 

Dated three years and married for twenty five.

 Superman is from a great family, loving parents and 

two brothers who are all so close and laid the groundwork 

for the wonderful man, husband and father he is.

 My favorite Dad photo, and there are many.

Superman reading bible stories to his three boys at bedtime.

  

It's a Mom's dream to have a great husband for her daughter ...

and a loving, caring Dad for her Grandsons (aka Grandhunks).

My dream came true.

Because of him, these young men are strong & have good hearts.

They know to to treat the women in their lives because 

of the love and respect he shows to his wife, their Mom, WW.

SM, Zoey & Laker

Superman and WonderWoman took off for NYC this morning 

and will spend a few day with good friends in NJ. 

        Happy Birthday Superman! You are truly loved by your wife, sons, family, friends and fans. I am a fan.

    An example of just how special Superman is ... if you read here
 you know that my Iphone6+ had died. The next day, Superman sent Grandhunk#1 to get Grandma a new phone, to deliver and set it up.  He did and I now have a beautiful new Iphone11. How sweet is that?
