Donna and I became first-time grandparents on Friday, Oct. 2 with the birth of Emma Jay.  The daughter of our son Eric and daughter in-law Jamie, I captured this momment of eye contact between grandma Donna and Emma at the hospital on Long Island on 10/3.  Emma and Jamie are both doing fine and are going home today. 

There will probably be more photos of Emma going forward. cool

Emma has to be a wonderful child, born on Long Island is the perfect start.......enlightened........my start was at the hospital at Huntington Station on the island.

Congratulations to Eric & Jamie, as well as the entire Erhardt family......devil

Congrats, Jim and Donna, and congrats to the parents! I have 5 grandkids. In a way, it is a passing of the torch to younger hands and a new beginning all around. Life goes on!devil

With out a doubt one of the most special moments of life is becoming a grandparent. Congratulations to you and your family. I'm sure you will enjoy every moment but be careful as they grow oh so fast. devil

Congrats, Jim.  You and Donna are going to have a great time with Emma Jay.  I'm guessing that there will be more trips back to Long Island for visits. Great joy.  Feel free to spoil her.
