The score is 6 to 3!

Not that it's a competition, be we now have SIX grandsons and THREE granddaughters!  I am pleased to announce that the Anderson name will continue on for many years to come as we add son J, the Cougar, and his wife A's newest and sweetest little addition who came into this world at 6:03 PM today, March 15, 2011!
Mother, baby, daddy and big brothers are doing well.
A not only gave birth with no pain killers or anesthesia, but Baby Anderson isn't even two hours old here and she looks rested!
 One proud grandma,
 one very proud Nana - ME
and a proud grandpa.  Hubby won't get to meet his new grandson until he gets home from Phoenix, but was in touch over the phone throughout the process.
 It just seems like yesterday we were oohing and aahing over "Baby" Z.  Now Big Boy Z is a big brother!  He was a little confused about what all this was about, but just as sweet and cute as ever.
 Big Brother J was very interested.
 There aren't words for how sweet this picture is to me.  I am SO blessed to have been a part of this day!
I think that being a mother and a grandmother is one way to a very tiny degree to understand the love our Heavenly Father and our Savior can have for so many children individually.  Because the more babies that come into our family, the greater is the love I feel.  How can it get bigger than it already is when it feels like it fills you all up?  And yet, today when this sweet little baby came into our family, the capacity to love grew from maximum to a new maximum, completely filling me up.
How is that possible!?
Again, I am amazed and so grateful.  Thank-you, God, for this miracle!
