Grandchildren are a Blessing

We've welcomed a new grandson into our lives this past week. Joel David entered the world Tuesday September 16th @ five sixteen p.m. He weighed 6lb 10oz and was 19" long. He and his Mother are both doing well and came home from the hospital on Thursday.



Joel was diagnosed in utero with a few problems, hydrocephalus being one of them, but through prayer and Gods mercy he was born without hydrocephalus and healthy enough to go straight to the well baby nursery and then home with Mom. Joel may have a few bumps on his road growing up but he's doing just fine and his whole family is just full of joy to have him here with us safe and sound.



Tori Nicole is Joels biggest fan and couldn't wait to hold him, she's a pro at holding babies she knew just what to do.


And here we are at 6 days old and 6oz heavier he's already at 7lbs! He's puckering up for a kiss from his Mommy.




And here is what Joel has to look forward to when he's older. Driving Grandpas John Deere. Tori is a great tractor driver and will be happy to show him just how to do it.......
