What a great and wondrous post! I must say that I know an exceptional young man born on January 16 — my son. I also know an exceptional woman born on January 16 – my oldest friend from college way back when. So the moral of the story is, congratulations on the arrival of your exceptional grandchild. I know they are all exceptional, but for the moment, let’s celebrate January 16 and the birth of your 4th grandchild on this most auspicious Capricorn date.
