A Great Way to End a Christmas Break

We had a wonderful Christmas filled with family, friends, music, fun and surprises.  Even though we looked forward to all the festivities that come with the season, we were anticipating the arrival of some very special people.  

Wednesday, December 28th, Grady Conway  arrived in all his glory.   Weighing in at 11 lbs 7 oz, and measuring 22 1/2 inches, he captured our hearts and put us in awe.  Can you believe he was induced a week earlier than his due date?   


Mr. Cy is so excited to finally get a brother.  


Welcome to the world and to the family, sweet Grady.


Not wanting to be left behind for long, twelve hours later, Langston Tuiasoa  was born.  He weighs 7 lbs 14 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. He too was born a week before his due date.  I have a feeling he'll be called  "Link" since that's what his brother and sister have been calling him for the past 5 months. 


As you can see, he's in good hands with his 4-year-old sister, Keiti.


Look at that sweet boy!  Welcome Baby Link!  


I'm in Grandma Heaven!

    Congratulations to EVERYONE! What beautifully big boys! If they waited another week you probably would have 13 and 9lb boys. Give my best to Candice and Jill!

    Wow, you are one lucky grandma. Looks like some happy siblings to hold their baby brothers.
    I like the name Langston, so Link is a cute nickname.

    I'm sure you are enjoying each and every minute. I was reading your post and went "OH MY GOODNESS"--Allan said, "What???" I had to re-read the 11 pounds 7 oz. Thank goodness he was induced--what if he had another week to add more weight ; )

    They are both beautiful babies.

    Congratulations to everyone.

    Big hugs.

    Wow, Connie, you hit the Grandma jackpot, all in one day! Doesn't it make you wonder how Grady and Langston plotted before they came here to arrive together?

    I guess Grady can forget about wearing newborn clothes. What a big little guy!

    Oh my! 2 babies! And 11 lbs of pure Grady? Incredible. Both boys are so cute and "booshy" as we call it. Not really sure how to define booshy, but it's a good thing. Congratulations!!!

    YOU ARE indeed in Grandma Heaven, and I can't think of a better heaven to be in.
    2 babies...wow
    HOLY FREAKING OUCH...an 11 lb baby. did she deliver naturally or by C-section?
    I see NFL in his future (tee,hee)
    and then baby Link
    he's pretty tall
    NBA ?????
    and all that dark gorgeous hair.

    but most important is the love they'll recieve from many people, and it's more important how they develop as a person, rather then anything they accomplish in this crazy life eh.
    HAPPY FOR YOU and those new mommies and families.

    I figure I'll only get maybe 4more...on the outside....of future grandchildren.

    Oh and PS: I love the name Langston.. but cute nick name too!

    Congratulations! I can't think of a better way to start out a new year. Holy Cow! 11 plus pounds. What a whopper and a week early to boot. I thought I had big kiddos. All of my five were either 10 pounds on the mark or over at birth.

    Congratulations to you all! How exciting to have 2 sweet little boys in the family. They are gorgeous!

    We also welcomed a new baby to our family the week before Christmas, my niece Maisie. It looks like you and my mum are the happiest grandmothers around!

    Best wishes and happy 2012!

    I can't believe your sweet daughter had an 11 pound 7 ounce baby boy!! WOW! She is a trooper! Fun to see what you named him (I hope I'm remembering this right that this is the baby that Ethan was trying to help decide a name for). Grady Conway has a great ring to it!

    Love that they chose Langston ("Link" for short) as the name for your other grand-baby.

    What a wonderful Christmas and wonderful way to start off the New Year with 2 sweet babies to hold and love!!

    Enjoy being in Grandma Heaven....you deserve it!!
