Isaac has arrived

Isaac Knight Darnell came into this world around 10:37 a.m. Alaska time on Thursday, March 27th. Weighing in at 8 pounds 12 ounces he managed to wear out the parents and grandparents who spent most of the night waiting for his arrival. They all report it was worth it!

Being a Great Grandpa for the second time in a year comes with mixed feelings. The miracle of a new life, especially one in your own family, is always amazing and a joy - the realization that you are old enough to be a "great grandpa" is not so amazing.

Since Isaac's Dad ships out for basic training in about 5 weeks and will most likely end up stationed in the lower 48, it will probably be a while before we pay Isaac a visit. In the meantime we will rely on pictures from Grandma Darnell and/or the parents to keep us posted on the development of this new little miracle.

More pictures will be posted later - you can count on it!
