Sylvan Renard Smith November 25, 2015

Our newest grandson is nearly a month old and I have yet to post a picture of him. I suppose that is because he lives in town and I get to see him often and not just look at his picture, so I am less inclined to grab a camera every time I see him.  Still we are so delighted that has arrived safely into the loving arms of Peter and Roque.  He was born in a great hurry on November 25, 2015, but even from day one he seemed like a pretty mellow little guy to me.


Here are three generations of Smith men

I think that Sylvan looks like Peter, but newborn babies do tend to look alike. The top picture is Peter on day one and the bottom is Sylvan at about two weeks.


 He does look like he will have blue eyes like Peter.


We jumped right in getting him started with Smith family traditions.  Here he is helping Granddad Cal decorate gingerbread men.


And here he playing baby Jesus in the Christmas nativity. 

I do miss the days when the kids played all the parts and we just got to watch.

Sylvan was blessed last Sunday night in a very touching family blessing at Peter and Roque's home. Butch came in person and the Wrights came on FaceTime

He was well loved by the Smith family and the Stutz family.

  1. I love that you still did an all-adult Nativity. That was a great angel ensemble, Mom!
