Alice Caroline Wright

I got to spend last week meeting our new granddaughter Alice.  Rosie and Jay welcomed their new little daughter just before midnight July 26.  She is beautiful and so snuggly. I got lots of snuggle time with her.  Here she is on day one with her adoring parents, tired, but thrilled to welcome her to their family.

She spends a lot of time snuggled up and sleeping on Jay's chest. 

But Grandmas get snuggle time too. Notice the guitars on the wall.  Rosie and Jay have really made their house a home with personal touches everywhere.  I just love how peaceful and quiet it is there.

On Wednesday the family took an outing to see the "stink plant" at UCSB.  Alice was an old hand at riding in the stroller, she had already been for a ride the day before.

This plant only blooms about once every ten years and is quite rare.  I think Jay said there are just over 100 known plants in the world.  When it blooms it gives off the odor of rotting meat.  Sadly we didn't get close enough to smell the fragrance.  I can't say that it is all that attractive either.

While Alice was taking a stroller break I talked the Wrights into a family photo.  A beautiful family.

I spent a lot of time taking pictures, especially when Alice opened her eyes.

But this one is my favorite.  Welcome to the family Alice.
