Callahan Michael Shannon

Thursday, May 18 –

Early on the morning of May 12, Andrea and Laredo, had a sweet little boy. He weighed 7 lb., 14 oz. and was 21 1/4″ long. He was born in Midland, Texas at a natural birthing center.

This was the picture Laredo texted me a few minutes after Callahan was born with this message “Just had a boy Callahan Michael”

Just look at the love in Andrea’s eyes on her first Mother’s Day on May 14

Sadly, some of our group were sick when Callahan first made his appearance and it took a few days before we felt that we should be around a newborn. But, finally, on Thursday the 18th, we got to see Cal in person.

Elsie Meets Granddad

Saturday, May 6 –

We just returned from spending a few days in Tennessee. Nathan was anxious to meet Elsie, Atlanta’s new baby, who is already 5 months old. The visit wasn’t long enough, but at least we were able to spend some quality time with Jordan and Atlanta and re-connect with Marian and Alan, as well.

When we first arrived, two little monkeys were peeking out the window. Then Jordan brought little Elsie out to meet granddad.

It didn’t take long for him to fall in love with her.

Later in the day we took the kids to a park nearby at Mouse Tail Landing state park on the Tennessee River.

In a couple of days, all the kids had warmed up to Granddad nicely.
