Introducing Kinley Joan Walsh -- to the World!
This afternoon at 3:04 PM ET -- I witnessed a miracle, the birth of our first grandchild.
What a moment.
The photo above is of my son-in-law Conor Walsh holding his little girl, Kinley Joan for the very first time.
I want to thank my colleagues at Notre Dame for allowing me the opportunity to get down to Vero Beach, FL to experience this -- how special.
Kinley measured 22" long and weighed 9lbs-3oz. -- a healthy baby girl. Her Mom, my daughter Kara is doing just fine -- thank the Lord!
I hope tomorrow to post a photo of Kinley wearing her "custom" Grandpa Tells Me onesie.
Brian Kelly Named "Home Depot Coach OTY!
He's the only coach to win this award more than once -- and he's won it THREE TIMES!
Congrats Coach Kelly!

My Gift of "Notre Dame" to Our First Grandchild
My daughter Kara and son-in-law Conor leave for the hospital tonight, in Vero Beach, for the birth of their first child...
The sex of this child -- is unknown -- what isn't unknown is what this boy or girl's favorite college will be.
Please keep the "three" of them in your prayers.
I had these custom "onesies" made -- four different sizes, so my grandchild will be wearing these for many months. It's a process!
