Say "hello" to Roscoe Jane

Ed and I are just back from Brooklyn where we met our newest granddaughter: Roscoe Jane Broker. And what a grand baby she is!

She was born on January 14 at 7:46 a.m., weighing 7 pounds 8 ounces and perfect in every way. Mother (Mary) and Father (Brian) are doing fine as well. She is named in honor of Ed's maternal grandfather: Roscoe Fitts and Brian's maternal grandmother: Jane Ann Fare.

Our almost three-year-old grandson, Norbert, took to calling his much-anticipated cousin: New York Baby. And what a New York Baby she is! Before she was even two weeks old, she had been out to coffee, lunch, and dinner multiple times, taken the B-61 bus, and celebrated two birthdays (not including her own). As she goes on daily walks with her two greyhound "sisters", Roscoe has already gained quite the reputation for being the newest darling of Red Hook, her Brooklyn neighborhood. 

Ed and I look forward to spending time with her as she shows us all around her metropolis and Hazel and Norbert can't wait to show her all around Farm Dover. Welcome, Baby Roscoe! You are well loved.
