Marlee goes home...

Friday, February 20, 2009

Today was a great day. Today Marlee went home with Mommy and Daddy. It was cold and wet, and from what I can gather, Marlee doesn't like the car seat too much. That's ok though, she'll have plenty of time to get used to it!

I have to say... being a "grandpa" isn't all that bad! I couldn't imagine life to be any better right now.

Jellybean... welcome to our world

Jellybean...

You have always been our special jellybean
The sweet special treat for which we are keen
Jellybean, Jellybean, we wait for your smiles
So mommy and nanny Karen can dress you in styles (ugh!) 

We've waited so long, only nine months in fact
We really have loved the way your mommy reacts
Huffing and puffing she loved every minute of it.
Watching her giggle and groan with motherly fits.

I remember her then, so many years gone
A small little princess with a big smile that shone
Now she's a mommy and we are so proud
I am so happy, I would scream it out loud (wait for it)

Jellybean, Jellybean, there is so much to be told
I can hardly wait for my turn to hold you.
I'm so happy and excited I really can't sit still
Jellybean, sweet Jellybean, your days to be filled

Jellybean... you are Marlee Ryan Hayward-Place
All soft and so small with a big beautiful face
Welcome home Marlee... our Jellybean girl
Welcome Home Jellybean to our wonderful world!
