I was scheduled to go with Jay to Valle today. I also had a daughter-in-law that was 9-months pregnant and ready to calve-out. My intuition kept eating at my gut and telling me to stay close to the barn - just in case. Accordingly, I wimped-out on Jay and stayed home. Normally my intuition is wrong and I ultimately regret giving it any serious consideration. Man am I glad I paid attention this time. At approximately 10:45 AM this morning, my 3rd grandchild and 1st granddaughter was borne. I would have kicked myself for missing it and spent a small fortune trying to charter a private flight from Williams to Mesa post haste. Now I'll just spend a small fortune on the granddaughter  ;D

Here she is - a petite 6 lbs. 5 oz. and 19". You'd think a guy with a couple of DSLR's would have a camera on hand for the big moment. Nope; I ended up using my iPhone - not too bad an image.
