2021 has been the year of babies for our family. Cousins are multiplying in every direction. We had 2 precious grandchildren born; a boy in May and a girl in November, to go with our other two year old granddaughter. 3 and counting…
My sister also had 2 grandchildren born to their crew: a girl in November and a boy in December. It’s been fun to share all the updates and pictures between family members. So many photos were being sent via text message we had to be careful to label the names to keep from getting confused.
In the midst of all this joy – our daughter, who married in July announced her pregnancy and due-date for next summer! Just the thrill of these new little ones being added makes my head spin. I am reliving all my pregnancies, births and baby-years. With 4 grandkids in the family David and I are officially Grandma and Grandpa and his parents are “the Greats.”
I love watching our children experience parenthood and understand why we love them so much. My parents were right saying it only gets better when your babies have babies. I pray that we will be as accommodating and generous as they were and as David’s parents are today. No matter where our kids live (and hope it’s not too far) my heart will stay full of these gracious undeserved blessings.
