Douglas L. Ross - My Personal Reflections

From Douglas L Ross' Weblog My youngest son Jason and his wife Christy just had their first child. His name is Jason Wyatt Ross and he was born Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at about 2:00pm at the Emory John's Creek hospital in John's Creek, Georgia. Little Wyatt was a healthy 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long. He's just about the cutiest newborn you've ever seen. Mother and son are doing just great and so is my son, the new daddy. We're very proud of them all and we wish Jason and Christy the very best as they embark on the life adventure of parenthood with little Wyatt.

My youngest son Jason and his wife Christy are at the hospital as we speak waiting for our newest grandson to arrive. We're on our way. Say a prayer that everything goes well.

Zach and Noah both started playing basketball at our church league this year and both of them were really great. I think I've got a couple of future basketball stars on my hands.

This is my grandson Parker. He was four months old a few days ago and is the sweetest baby you'll ever see. I think Parker is going to be a thinker, what do you think?

Saw this on Geek Parenting site. These kid's sites are awesome, I had no idea that so much existed for geeky kids.

No matter how many times you witness the birth of a child, it never ceases to be just the most amazing and wonderful gift from God there could ever possibly be. I had that pleasure again this past Thursday (October 4, 2007) when my son Patrick and his wife Ann became proud parents for the first time. Parker Alexander Ross (5lbs 12oz) was a few weeks early but thankfully, mother and son are both doing great. As you can see, Parker has a full head of wavy black hair, he's pink as a bunny and as beautiful a baby as there ever was. You can't tell from the photo but he's also got really big feet. Parker gets that from his daddy whose birth I remember to this day. Pat was a pretty baby too, but what I'll never forget is how big Pat's feet seemed to me at the time. It's odd the things that stick with you and that you never forget. Parker's birth will certainly be one of them. And we're looking forward to many years of watching him grow up and prosper.
