The arrival of Charlotte Marie Roth

This has been the most amazing week.  We were blessed with our first grandbaby.  She is the most perfect little baby girl named Charlotte Marie Roth.  We picked up Jacob from his soccer practice and drove down to Provo to take Shanna and Christian out to dinner.  We went to zupas. Shanna picked the place.  Jacob did not want to go and made the drive very miserable for all of us.  He refused to get out of the car and it was freezing cold that night. I was trying an experiment to see how it would work to pick up Jacob from soccer and go straight to dinner.  The experiment failed.   The next morning, Shanna and Christian went to the hospital and checked in so Shanna could be induced to start labor.  They were keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and info.  I tried to get everything done and home and I finally talked Richard into going down to the Timpanogas hospital in Orem at 12:30.  We were waiting in the waiting room for about 3 hours before we got to go in and see them and the baby.  She was born at about 1 pm.  We were finally able to go in and see them all once they got them into a room.  She weighed 9 lb. 3 oz.  She is absolutely perfect.  We all love her so much.  This last 5 days, I have tried to be there and spend as much time as they would allow me to spend with them while they were in the hospital and since they have been home.  I have also tried to stay away some of the days because Shanna needs to recover and they just need their peace and quiet and time to themselves.  They are the cutest parents.  We went to their house tonight for Christian's birthday and I took brownies, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and crushed peppermint.  The boys are really cute with Charlotte.  Jacob and James both went with us to their house tonight.
