Welcome Molly Nicole
I would like to introduce you to the latest Anderson girl. World, meet Molly Nicole Ogren… Molly meet the world! Molly arrived late this morning while I was travelling to Charleston. I have been here for a couple of hours and she has been in the nursery that whole time… so I am axious to actually meet her myself. Click here to see a slide show of photos that Jeanie took early on.
While driving down, I was thinking about my last post and how I want to be one who influences the world to be a better place for my daughters. Now I have one more daughter to consider… a GRAND daughter. As I was pondering the influence I will have on her, I began to think of the influence she will have on me. When I was a youngster, the order of things was like this: the adults influenced the kids and the kids were influenced. It was very much a one way street. As an adult, I have a much broader perspective. I see influence between the generations as a two way street. My daughters and sons-in-law influence me greatly… and I am glad. They have gifts, strengths, talents, experiences and perspectives that I do not have. My life is much richer as I welcome their influence.
Little Molly is already influencing me. All the way from Charlotte to Charleston, I felt as if I were being pulled by an unseen force… the grandpa magnet. Molly, I can hardly wait to hold you.

When I first saw Danae she wasn’t much older than that. Where oh where did the years fly to?
Congratulations to Mark and Danae! And to you and Jeanie.

She is beautiful! As a seasoned grandparent, I know exactly how you two are feeling! You don’t think there’s anything you can love more than your own kids…but then those grandbabies come along. God has truly blessed your family with a wonderful gift…
Betcha “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” ain’t so funny anymore, huh, Jeanie??
Love you guys…Merry Christmas!
