Our second to oldest son, Brandon and his wife, Laura had their first baby! It has taken me quite awhile to post the birth stories, I know. I just have to work with the time boxes as I open them:)

Here, finally is our newest BLESSING. I always marvel at the LOVE the LORD pours out with each new child. When I was pregnant with my second child (the daddy to this new grandbaby) ... I remember being so afraid I couldn't love another as I loved his older brother. How could love grow any bigger than what I already held?

The very moment that second son was born . . . God showed what a miracle HIS love is. It defies human boundaries and soars higher and more greatly than anything this earth grasps.

I loved him with a love JUST for him as I loved the brother before him.
It was the same with the next son, the first daughter and the youngest son and it has been the same with each of our four grand children. What somehow happens is ... well, in this inexplainable way: God gives a love for each child as if that child were the only one. They each have their span of love that grows more and more with every moment in time from the moment he or she is born.

Here, is our youngest grandlittle. . . may he leap off the banks in this world and jump in the waters of his Nandy's and Pop's love as his brave and beautiful cousins have!
