As most years go, 2009 was no different than others with all the highs and lows that come during a year. However, one major event happened that outshines the rest.
Say hello to my 3rd grandson!
Although we received early test results that he may not make it full term and if he did would probably not live very long, the test result was wrong! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to find out he was normal until he was born and this is the photo of my step-daughter with her new son when she received the news that he was perfect in every way. If you look closely, you’ll see a tear running down her cheek.
I’ve never experienced full-term childbirth for myself, so I felt lucky & honored to be present during my grandsons birth. It was an indescribable experience & one that I won’t ever forget. It was also amazing to watch my other 2 grandsons see their baby brother for the first time. I love those boys like they were my own flesh and blood.
It’s been fun & interesting to watch him change & grow over the last few months.
They grow up so fast!





He’s beautiful and must be such a blessing to your family. Congratulations!
He is absolutely adorable, and I’m so glad to hear that he is a healthy baby! The picture of mom and three boys is just priceless!
