Jonah has arrived!
Our newest grandchild arrived at 3:08 AM on Tuesday morning. Weighing in at 6 lbs 10 oz with a length of 19 1/2 inches long is Jonah Eugene Cole Layton. As you can see from the photos he is really cute! Jonah and mom Charity are healthy and doing fine. He was a few weeks early because he did not want to be born on the due date of May 18th (Mt St Helens eruption in 1980). Guess he wanted his birthday to be a big event not overshadowed by some volcano.
Grover spent 30 years as a police officer before retiring in 2004. He now works as the Emergency Management Director for the county. He likes to fly his airplane, travel with Goni, go hiking, do a little canoeing, camping, and talk to people on his amateur radios.
