September 27, 2012, a day I will remember forever! What a wonderful experience I was able to be a part of today. I was able to watch my first grandchild be born. Rory and Abby allowed Grandma Julie and I to be in the delivery room when the little darling made her debut. Words just can't express the joy I felt when I saw this tiny bundle of joy for the first time. Its a memory that I will cherish forever. Our perfect little angel weighed 7lbs 5ozs and was 20 1/2 inches long. She opened her beautiful brown eyes immediately and looked around as if to say, "Here I am everyone, are you excited to meet me?"

This is one of the very first pictures of many that were taken of her that day.

We still didn't know what her name was going to be. As soon as the Grandpas were invited into the room, Rory announced that her name would be Harper JoAnn Bell. Grandpa Bell started to tear up a little bit when he heard this because his Mother's name is JoAnn too. I hope that little Harper grows up with many of the same qualities that her great grandmother JoAnn has. Grandma JoAnn was a very loving and caring person. Always taking care of others and had a strong testimony of the gospel. I hope Harper will always be proud to share her name.
