Blessings



I am blessed -really really blessed. Let me say that again..I am blessed !
Kandace and Leah came over and stayed for a bit with their bundles of pure joy, Asher and Grayson!! They are two amazing young women and incredible moms who love their kids to death! The two young guys they are nurturing so well , are beautiful !
It is really something to see how Kandace and Leah are sooo in tune with their little guys , and care so tenderly and lovingly for them. Those two characters are super pampered little rascals! They are getting about as good a start in life as anyone on this planet could ever get!

Holding each of those precious little additions to the family God has given, one can see definite personalities emerging. Each is so different from the other. In what will seem a blink, the two of them will be up and walking and talking and asking questions by the millions. Its all happening so fast!
As they grow Lin and I will get to be the special people in these guys lives that our grandparents were in ours. I remember vividly the days I spent with my grandma's as some of the most precious in all of my life. I hope Lin and I can provide those same memories for Asher and Grayson; that we will be a blessing to them!
The great thing is, we have that opportunity. I thank God for Leah and Tyler and Kandace and Jeff for Asher and Grayson ..and for all that is coming as we go on as a growing family. We have, if God allows, years of joy ahead as we get to see and enjoy and hopefully, in some small way, mentor the next generation coming along.
Looked at that way, the grey hair aint so bad.
Lin and I are blessed people.
Thank you Lord.

We are so excited to have you and Linda in Asher's life - you bring so much love to their lives and we want them to experience the "Granparent" kind of love that is that special kind of nurturing. Here's to many years ahead!
