Grand-baby #5!

New baby on the way!

Next Wednesday our daughter, Sara, is scheduled for a c-section to deliver our fifth grandchild, a girl named Kayla Rose. I’m flying out on Monday. My job will be to take care of Kayla’s older brother, Cameron. Here he is wearing his swimming goggles, which he loves so much he only removes them at bedtime.

I’m sure their community pool will be cold but I am determined to be a good Grammy and take him swimming (it is easier than having a c-section).

Here Sara is holding Cameron when he was a newborn baby.

What a wonder—the cycle of life—and watching my children become parents is certainly one of the sweetest blessings I’ve known so far. “Thank You, Father, Giver of Life for the joy of children, the miracle of birth and the delight of grandchildren. Amen.”
