a new grandson to love...

It's a boy!

He was born yesterday...late afternoon...
November 6th...
and weighed in at 9 pounds 14 ounces!

Kris & Lisa and big sister Ranen are thrilled!

His name is Micah...and it suits him just fine!

I happened to have a little inside information...
and so the blankee for the new baby was in the proper colour.

It just got finished in the nick of time...
with the last round completed as our road-trip came to an end last week.

And as I went to package it yesterday morning...
I noticed yarn ends that still needed to be woven in.

So I did my last minute weaving...
and was reminded of the verse in Psalm 139:13...

For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother's womb.


We are so thankful to God for our grandson who is 'fearfully and wonderfully made'.

And how special to meet him when he was brand new to the world!

Have a wonderful weekend!

  7. Oh Judy how wonderful. That is just a blessing to hold that new baby. Just came to us from God. I also enjoyed the field trip and the story of your ancestors. A couple of years ago I started to search for my husband's grandparents, who his father had never known. My FIL was an orphan. But with the help of the local genealogy group and Ancestory.com I found the whole story. I have made booklets for all my children with this information and I am so glad I did. Folks slip away sometimes before all that info is gotten. I enjoyed your blog a lot today.
