The best Christmas Eve I could ever imagine

How do I write this on Christmas Eve without it sounding trite? Here goes!

Our family was blessed this morning with a Christmas miracle and I couldn't be happier. God is good. Life is wonderful.

Aidan Ralph Nanna made his way into the world a bit early. He was due in early February and is only 3.5 pounds. He is in another state, but I hope to see my first grandchild soon.

Waiting for photos.
