Former U.S. President George W. Bush, now 78, joyfully announced the birth of his new grandson on social media.
On Tuesday, August 6, Bush shared a heartfelt photo on Instagram to celebrate the arrival of his daughter Barbara Pierce Bush’s second child with husband Craig Coyne. The couple, who already have a 2-year-old daughter, Cora Georgia, welcomed their son, Edward Finn, just days earlier.
In the sweet photo, Barbara and Craig are seen in a hospital bed, tenderly holding their newborn as they gaze at him with joy. “Welcome to the world, Edward Finn Coyne. @laurawbush and I are proud grandparents of our newest blessing, born on August 4 and lovingly named in honor of his great-grandfathers,” Bush captioned the post. He added, “Congratulations to Barbara, Craig, and big sister Cora Georgia.”
Barbara’s twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, was the first to share the happy news on Monday, August 5. Jenna, co-anchor of the Today show, expressed her excitement about becoming an aunt again on Instagram, writing, “My sissy had a little mister and I fell madly in love with Edward Finn! 
.”
Jenna’s post included a series of photos from the family’s special moments after Edward’s birth. In one, Jenna is seen feeding her new nephew, while another shows Barbara cradling Edward with Jenna admiring the scene. A third photo captures Edward peacefully resting in his mother’s arms.
Though Jenna didn’t share specific birth details, one of the photos shows Edward wearing a hat from NYU Langone Health, suggesting Barbara may have given birth at the prestigious New York City hospital.
This is not the first time George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have expressed their joy over becoming grandparents. When Barbara and Craig welcomed their daughter Cora in September 2021, the Bushes released a statement to announce the news.
“With full hearts, @laurawbush and I are delighted to announce the birth of our new granddaughter. Barbara gave birth to Cora Georgia Coyne on September 27, 2021, in Maine – not far from our family home where Barbara and Craig were married,” the couple shared at the time. “Cora is healthy and adorable, and we are proud and grateful.”
Now, with the addition of Edward Finn, the Bush family has even more to celebrate!
Strange small “room” in my ancient barn’s top
The historical relationship between barn owls and farmers constituted a vital aspect of rural livelihoods.
Farmers, recognizing the barn owls’ prowess in pest control, ingeniously crafted nest boxes within their barns, merging age-old skills with ecological wisdom.
This ancient practice reflected the farmers’ deep reverence for nature’s equilibrium, showcasing their willingness to coexist with these predators long before modern conservation efforts took root.
Utilizing locally-sourced materials like straw and wood, farmers meticulously fashioned these nests, prioritizing the safety and comfort of the owls by ensuring adequate ventilation and drainage in the box design.
Strategically positioned in tranquil corners, rafters, and lofts of the barn, these nesting compartments harmonized farm activities with the owls’ nesting needs.
The tradition of constructing barn owl nest boxes has transcended generations, evolving into a cherished family legacy.
Beyond mere pest control, it symbolized a commitment to eco-conscious farming and the enduring partnership between humans and the natural world.
Preserving this agricultural heritage underscores the enduring collaboration between humanity and the environment.
