On March 11, 2026, at 5:57pm, my newest great grandson, Graham Theodore Petersen made his entrance into the world. He weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces, and he was 19½ inches long. Graham joins his three brothers, Justin, Axel, and Cristian, the sons of parents, Josh and Athena Petersen. He has already been dubbed with the nickname, Graham Cracker, which is a sweet nickname indeed. A sweet nickname for a sweet baby boy. Graham was born with a pretty good head of hair, of multiple colors. He has bits of blonde, brown, and even a bit of red. That red isn’t so unusual, since his uncle, Andrew Salazar has red hair too.
Right now, Graham is a novelty to his brothers, and they know that they have to be very careful with him, but before long, Graham will have to learn to deal with his “rough and tumble” big brothers, because along with the normal 
fighting kids do, the Petersen boys have regular “dog piles” in their play. Bumped heads and a few scratches here and there, as well as the inevitable bruises are just par for the course. Nevertheless, the Petersen boys love each other very much…most of the time. When one of them is taking toys away or pushing them around, any one of them will defend himself, and one of those “brother battles” will ensue. Those things are a little way down the road for Graham, so he will have a bit of a reprieve. Nevertheless, his brother, Cristian, who is just 13½ months older than Graham, already knows how to defend himself.
While the middle brothers know that they have a new baby brother, they aren’t quite as interested as the oldest 
Petersen brother, Justin. At three years old, Justin is very interested in his baby brother. He wants to hold him as much as he can, and he is happiest when he gets to hold his sweet brother. Graham is a good baby and doesn’t cry much. That could change, of course, but for now, his parents are enjoying the relatively quiet little baby he is. He is a handsome little boy who reminds us all of his older brother, Cristian, with a little bit of Axel mixed in. It’s hard to say what he will look like as he gets older. Each child had their own looks, and they change as they get older. Nevertheless, he will always be a handsome little boy, because he comes from good stock. We are so happy to have our little Graham here finally. The wait seemed like forever. Welcome to the world Graham. We love you so much.
