So, yesterday morning I sat down to write a column for the paper. I got a call from my Bride. She said she just got a text message (from Dan our son) that said they didn't 'induce' the delivery as planned because she had just started labor on her own right then.
Twenty minutes later Marilyn called back to say "It's a Girl!" She had a twenty minute labor attended to by nurses. The Dr had gone across town to his clinic for a while. He missed it. When the baby arrived the nurses said, "we said don't push." The reply was "I didn't push."
Well, off to lincoln we went.


This is a pic of my lovely daughter in-law a couple of weeks ago.




This is what we found in the hospital. The little one is Georgia Kay.
Grandpa reported that he was pulling for Cliffetta or Ralph-ina for a name. The look on Marilyns face means, "you're not serious?"
Great Grandma went along to hold the baby.
Cousin Hudson brought Dad along to see the babe also.
Congrats to Julie and Dan and a big welcome to Georgia Kay!!
Okay, now I'm past deadline on the column. It was going to be about Thanksgiving and having a grateful heart. It will be easier to write now.

Hi Cliff! Congratulations to everyone. Georgia Kay is a beautiful baby. Your daughter-in-law is one lucky lady to have such a short labor.

I can't believe that they didn't find Cliffetta and Ralph-ina appealing. :o) Lisa

And sometimes people actually wonder what life is all about. There it is, all summed up in Georgia Kay! Hooray!!!! (And, of course Hudson too.) Welcome precious, new, healthy baby girl and thank goodness grandpa didn't carry enough clout to convince anyone to use his name suggestions:)

Congrats on your new granddaughter. What a cutie she is! You sure look like a proud grandpa. I really didn't like your choice of names, Georgia is so much better.

Ralph said...

Georgia Kay has a much better ring to it than Cliffetta or Ralph-ina.
Mom and Dad look pretty happy. So does Grandma and Grandpa.

WOW! Congratulations to EVERYONE! No one looks happier here that you and Marilyn! Well... and I guess Dan and Julie (and) GREAT Grandma! And if someone is reading grandpa's blog comments to you... "Welcome to a GREAT and loving family Georgia Kay!!!" ~ jb///

Adi said...

Jim, Mrs. Jim, and I say "Welcome Georgia Kay!"
Welcome Georgia Kay! I am glad Great Gandma got to come too, please tell her hi for us down here.

Cliff, I am sorry that you don't know these dogs. I am the beagle (Adi) and Katrin is my newly adopted by inheritance little sister, a toy poodle.
Jim introduced Katrin pretty good on the blog, I just checked.
You can read about her here,

Congratulations to the proud Mom and Dad. And to all the grandparents. Why, the whole family. Ain't nuthin' like a new little baby, is there?

I always say, "There's no such thing as too much money, too much chocolate or too many grandkids."

You are a blessed family. Thank you for sharing this special moment.

Jim said...

Obviously a good gene pool there Cliff, congratulations to all and welcome to Georgia Kay.

It's hard to type with tears in my eyes. Looking at the photo of you and Marilyn with the little Georgia peach made me misty!
Enjoy- you deserve it.

possum said...

Congratulations!!!!
Great pictures!
You had the names reversed - it was Cliffina - that would have worked - I bet!!!!

Lucy Stern said...

Yes, your column should be much easier to write now.....If you didn't have a grateful heart after the birth of that beautiful baby, I would be very disappointed in you...We all have much to be grateful for......Congradulations Cliff and Marilyn, Julie, Dan and of course Georgia Kay. How truly blessed you are.

Jamie Dawn said...

Congrats to all on welcoming this little darlin' to the fold!!!!
Georgia Kay is a terrific name.
Julie looks so pretty, even after just giving birth.
I know Dan is happy his wife and new baby are healthy and doing well.
All the grandparents look thrilled, and so does cutie pie Hudson.
Your family is very blessed!

Cliffers, that is a great photo of you, beaming with your newest granddaughter. Georgia Kay is not only a beautiful name,(so melodic), she is a sweetie. Love seeing great-grandma there, too!
Such love abounds.
Glad your column is going well.
