This little fella is Brandon, isn't he adorable? He and Violet are buddies, just like their mommies have been most of their lives. Well, we found out on Wednesday, Violet's 3rd birthday that Jill is having a boy! A boy! Our very own BOY! In case you didn't hear me the first 3 times............... WE'RE GETTING A BOY! 27 years and 5 girls later.... we are getting a boy!
He will not be spoiled. I can promise you that, after all, Violet isn't spoiled either. If you believe that, let me see what else I can sell you.
To say the least, we are excited. But, I was excited already at the idea of having another grandbaby around. Everyone said, I bet you want a boy, don't you? But, I had already decided that surely one of my girls would eventually have a son, so I was prepared to just sit back and enjoy the ride. And even if I have only grandgirls I will be happy all the days of my life! I just want happy, healthy grandbabies, that live their lives for Jesus. Truly, that's all I want in the world. My prayer for our baby boy is the same prayer I have prayed for Violet since she was in the womb. That he would be happy and healthy, that God would write His name upon his heart, that he would follow Jesus and be found pure and righteous and holy in His sight. A tall order to be sure, but isn't that what we all really want? To find favor with God and honor Him all the days of our lives. Amen.
ps - Violet is going to be the best big sister Ev-ah!
