The Fifth Generation Has Arrived. Mya Waaseyaa, the newest member of the Kavika tribe.
Our great great grand daughter was born today (actually yesterday in Oz). Weighting in at 6 lbs 9 ozs. (kind of small for our family) with dark brown eyes and jet black hair.. Named Mya Waaseyaa (wahseyah)
OMG, this is beyond belief. Five generations and Red and me are still kicking.. Must be in the blood..LOL
Hopefully I'll be getting photos soon and I'll be posting them. That makes two kids, four grand kids, twelve great grand kids and ONE GREAT GREAT GRAND KID.
Her Name, Mya, is a Maori word meaning brave warrior and Waaseyaa is an Ojibwe word meaning, first light of the sun...
To say that I'm stoked is a great understatement. The due date was the 4th of July (fitting) but she is a week early..Can't depend on the kids to get it right..LOL
To my mom and dad who walked on close to 40 years ago. This little girl is for you, the blood line continues for many more generations.

This is Red's an my legacy. I couldn't ask for anything more..All my children are a huge source of pride for us.
Mya Wasseyaa is the latest addition to take pride in.
I remember laying in a rice patty decades ago thinking of my little girl (daughter) back in the world. Wondering if I'd ever see her or my son again..Now all these years later that little girl is a great grand mother and the little boy is a great uncle.
And I'm still alive...WTH...
It's kind of overwhelming and really puts all the trivial daily BS in perspective. It ain't that important.
CONGRATULAIONS GREAT GREAT Grandfather !!! I can only imagine how excited you and Red are !!!! Please post pic's of her, I'm sure she is beautiful !!!
Thanks Nona, soon as I get some photo I'll be posting them.
OMG, what a cutie. I wish I didn't have to give up sculpting because of my hands. That picture would be perfect to do a bust.
LOL, thanks Paula.
Damn my bad hands. I may try anyway.
Go for it Paula.
Congratulations! That is amazing! I had 5 generations of women (1st born too) living for about a year before my grandmother passed. We have a photo of all five of us.
Thanks Fireryone, it's great that you also had 5 generations.
Congratulations to you and your family, Kavika.
Welcome to Mya.
Thanks dave.
That's fantastic.
Congrats.
Thank you Sean.
Creator's blessings to the 'House Of Kavika!' In triumph of new life there is great amazement and awesomeness of what matters.
Thanks calbab.
Fantastic. Are you going for great great great grandchidren?
I'm hoping JR, but I'm just a bystander in this...LOL
Congratulations !! That is awesome !!
Thanks pat, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it..LOL
Really great news. Sounds like you and Red will need to rev up Big Green and head for a visit to The Great South Sea, as Captain Bligh called it. Well, OK, maybe an airplane could get you there quicker (and a lot dryer).
Never count Big Green out TTGA, the old girl is a digger, nothing stops her..Me, that's another story...LOL
Congrats!
Thanks MrFrost.
Congrats!
For some reason the song by Sonny and Cher came to mind...And The Beat Goes On.
Thanks Ender.
The Beat Goes On, perfect...
Congratulations, Kavika! What a wonderful name for the new little one.
May the Sun forever shine upon her
May the warm winds forever blow softly upon her
May her path forever be Blessed with happiness
May her Spirit forever be filled with peace and joy
May the Creator forever hold her in His loving hands
And May she forever walk gently on the earth
nv-wa-do-hi-ya-dv (Peace)
Ahhh, thanks so much, beautiful prose.
I am of Celtic decent and, this was always my favorite, I've adjusted it just for Mya.
May the road rise up to meet her.
May the wind be always at her back.
May the sun shine warm upon Mya's face;
the rains fall soft upon her fields
and until we meet again,
may The Creator hold Mya in the palm of His hand.
Thank you so much Galen, the words are quite beautiful.
Well this is fantabulous news. Thank you for sharing a part of your family's history and future through this little miracle named Mya.
Thanks so much PJ.
Wow.. you are a great great grand dad! How wonderful. May you live to see many more and enjoy them. Congrats Grand papapa (tell Red the same thing).
I'll be sure to do that as soon as she accepts the fact that she is a great great grandmom...LOL
Thanks sister.
Congratulations to whole family and good health and long and happy lives to all
Thanks Charger.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Of course, this means that you and Red will have to hang in there, there are kids who are going to want to meet you someday.
Thanks nightwalker. I'm sure they will and I'll want to meet them.
Oh Kav, how wonderful. Congrats, to both you and Red. If you feel comfortable doing so, please spank up a photo..
Oh, and don't worry, no one can tell that you are bursting with pride. Your secret is safe with me.
Thanks sister. I should be getting some photos in the next couple of days and I'l be posting them.
Pride, what pride...LOLOL
So happy to hear joy has been visited upon the House of Kavika...five generations, Wow! May you, Red and the family have years making memories with this precious little girl. Blessings to you all.
Thanks Lynne.
Thanks Bob, the champagne looks good.
Dear Brother Kavika: May this newest addition to your family bring to you and yours all the happiness. meaning, fulfillment and pride her predecessors have and shall continue to do.
Peace and Abundant Blessings Unto the Thousandth Generation.
Enoch.
Yes indeed niijii.
Hey Kavika, I'm older than you and I only have 2 kids (I will admit to) and 3 grandchildren under the age of 5. Only you and Methuselah could span so many living generations. Congratulations to you and Red and all your subsequent progeny. Do you think that with a Maori name she might become a whale rider?
Thanks Buzz.
I was having breakfast with Methuselah the other day and he mentioned that with her names (both Maori and Ojibwe) it reminded him of ''Goes Across the Sky Women'' of Ojibwe legend. Old Meth is pretty sharp considering his age..
LOL Mya in the Sky with Diamonds.
Ha, good one.
Dear Friends Buzz and Kavika: I can vouch for the meal with Metushelach and Kavika.
It was at Jay's Diner.
I heard the server shout back to the short order cook, "Noah and family on a raft. Wreck 'Em!"
Enoch, Feasting on a Red Heffer at Jays.
LMAO
Could Marc Chagall have heard that legend to have painted this picture:
It could be Buzz....Did Mark spend anytime in MN?
I don't know, but if it's an Ojibwe legend, you know better than I do that there are other places than MN where Ojibwe live as well, or was that legend only known in MN?
She was a real person and a full Warrior Chief for the Ojibwe. She was prertty famous in MN and WI..
Fascinating story - Did you ever watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy? There is a woman in it who was related to the King, and she put on full armour to fight the Orcs alongside the men so she would not be recognized, and she was quite a warrior. This story made me think of her.
No, I didn't see any of the Lord of the Rings movies Buzz. I'm not much of a movie goer.
Congratulations to you and yours, Kav. That's wonderful. I'm happy for you!
Thanks Spike.
Exciting news!!!! Congratulations to you!!!
Thanks GaJenn.
It is so awesome to have a great-great-grandchild and a baby girl at that!
Welcome to the world, Baby Girl! Great-great-grandfather is bursting his breeches with pride.
Thanks Trout. The britches thing may cause some concern, since I only have one pair of britches...LOL
The 5th generation. Wow how exciting . Congratulations to your family Kavika.
Mya Waaseyaa, What a beautiful meaning her name has.
Thanks for sharing such great news.
Thanks JaneDoe.
That's the news I like to read about. I've had my fill of chaos, strife, hate...Thanks for the uplifting post. If this kind of material would be given a 15 minute slot each night, I have to believe it would positively impact our society.
Living right...
I agree, I'd love to see more ''good news'' stories.
And the ability and luck to duck at the right times.
Amen to that. Those babies are blessed to have you around. Had an old friend that was with the 146th Engineer Combat Battalion when they made the landing at Omaha Beach. He always said that he survived because he could crawl faster than he could run.
Ha, very true.
OK, OK, OK - now you have really gotten my total lack of math abilities screwed up.
A generation "usually" equates to 'bout 20 years - right?
So, child 1 = 20; grand = 'nuther 20; great grand = 'nuther 20 and great-great-grand = 'nuther 20.
That be 80 yars since the begin'n of your daddy'n. I KNOW you didn't start the production line in your "minus" yars - 'cause yur only early 70's.
SO, using those great math skills of mine - I got two yung'n's - 19 and 38 (neither married).
Grand = 20; great grand = 20; great-great-grand =20 - total be 60 yars.
So, I'll be in my 140's when I get to the g-g-grand phase. Now, THAT's something to look forward to
Brother, I know them Minnesota nights be cold (-50 during the winters is considered mild to you guys) and there were probably much teepee hopping/crawling goin' on to stay warm - but, in your pre-teen yars??
Congratulations my friend. You have a strong legacy and I sincerely hope they pass on your wisdom and knowledge for the rest to share and learn from.
LOL, I was 17 when my daughter was born and 22 when my son was born. My daughter had her first child at 18 and her daughter, my grand daughter, had her first child at 17...Her son, by great grandson had their first baby at 21...
My abacus exploded...LOL and I'm 78 years old. Give a take a year or so...No birth certificate for some of us old Indians...LOL
simply amazing ! i wish you and your family all the best and hope many more joys come your way !!
Thanks Phoenyx13.

Evening Kavika....Crikey!!! Well congratulations on the birth of your little Aussie great great grand daughter...We are truly blessed to have her in our Great Southern Land and know she is in safe hands in the years to come...May she love the sun, sand and surf and no matter where she is in the world, will always call Australia home...closely followed by the USA..Hope you get the chance to fly out and met Mya...We are proud to have her walk this land and to follow in her great great grand dads footsteps here and across the Pacific....
Thanks Shona, she'll be an Aussie through and through with a bit of Yank in her as well. Two cultures, two worlds, a good way to go.
We plan on a visit early next year.
