A Gift and a Miracle

Here he is gift # 62, Spencer Andrew, born Saturday November 14 at 6:17 PM, 7 lbs 7 oz. Perfect in very way. Aren't babies a miracle?

As soon as we heard the news that our daughter in law was in labor we got in the car and drove to Boston stopping overnight at my cousin's in Philadelphia. We knew we probably couldn't get there in time for his birth but at least we'd be there shortly after.

Well little Spencer waited until Grandma and Grandpa arrived and I was able to hold my newborn grandson. What a thrill!! This is our 4th grandchild and each time is just as exciting as the last one.

So I am continuing on with my Mulitude Monday One Thousand Gifts posting a day late.

Gift # 63-holding my new grandbaby, 64- new life, 65- look of joy on my son's face, 67- warm feeling of that little bundle of joy in my arms,68-I now have 4 grandchildren,70-soft cheeks, 71-little baby noises, 72, newborn baby smell, 73-healthy baby.

Charles Dickens said, "It is not a slight thing when they who are so fresh from God, love us."

Dear little Spencer, you are a gift and a miracle. You have stolen my heart and I am one blessed Grandma!

    What joy Rhondi! So excited for you and the fact that you were there in time. I love the photo of you holding Spencer; grand babies are so wonderful. Our oldest is due within the next week-this will be #5 for her so I've been working on my new granddaughter's quilt.
    Have a wonderful week.

    Your new grandson is beautiful, Rhondi! Yes, babies are such a blessing...I can't think of anything more wonderful than being a grandmother! It was sure sweet of him to wait for his grandma and grandpa to arrive before he did! Your face shows the love that you feel for him...congratulations to you, the proud parents, and a big welcome to little Spencer...may he always know the love and blessings of his family, and may he always walk with the Lord.


    God bless you and yours!
