Here He Is: Daniel Robert Dannells

Rue and Annie will return home today, bringing along their new little one, Daniel. He weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz. and is the sweetest little boy, looking very much like his Daddy, but having Annie's beautiful blue eyes.

Annie's mom, Katherine Hall took these photos. She stayed with Annie during the day, and Rue spent the nights with Annie.

George sang a little song to Daniel, the song he used to sing to his own children when they were young, "Oh God, Educate these children. These children are the flowers of Thy meadow, the roses of Thy garden. Let Thy rain fall upon them...."

Daniel's big sister Daisy, who is now 13 is really enjoying her new brother. I used to care for Daisy for several years, now she will be helping Annie care for little Daniel.

Grandma's hands... I've got ole' lady hands. Hands that spent 5 hours yesterday working in my garden.
