6/14 It has been 3 weeks and a few days since the arrival of our granddaughter Anouk Grace Cooper, born May 22. She came into this world at a whopping 8 lbs. 2ozs. and continues to grow. She and mother were treated for an infection with antibiotics keeping them in the hospital for an extended period after birth, so it was a bit of a traumatic experience to say the least. They are home and things are going along well and of course she is the most beautiful baby ever born, just ask me. Grandma is having a blast and is doing all the grandma stuff. Me, I’m just sitting back taking it all in and yes, enjoying this wonderful bundle of joy.

We had the family over to the campground for Father’s Day and had a nice quite dinner and of course Anouk did demand her bit of feast, which her mother was able to supply. Afterwards, we stepped outside for some family photos.

We plan on being here for a few more weeks but we're not looking forward to leaving, I know grandma sure isn’t going to want to leave. Of course you know grandpa can leave anytime (yeah, right).

Ok, I’m going to explain her name just because I get asked a lot. Anouk is a French and Dutch diminutive of the female given name Anna. It is fairly popular in the Netherlands, used but not as popular in Belgium and France.
Yes, I had a GRAND Father’s Day!
