Our Chance to Love Adam

This week Eric and I became grandparents for the 4th time.  No matter how prepared we are or how much we anticipate the new arrival, I am always amazed at the gift of life.  I have no idea how each baby is selected for their parents but I am glad that God picked each of our grandchildren to be given to our family. 

Our new grandson Adam is healthy with all of his fingers and toes.  That seems to be what all moms and dads ask the doctor first, "does he have 10 fingers and toes?"  And when the baby cries everyone says, "well, we know his lungs work."  While mom or dad is holding and talking to the baby, they are sure that the baby opens its eyes and looks RIGHT at them. 

The plaque hanging outside of Danielle's hospital room said-

                                      

We will be glad of the new life and as we look up at the stars, I will say thank you to God for one more miracle.

We love you Adam and pray that you will have a long and happy life.  We pray for good health and that God will bless you in everything that you do.  You have made our lives so much better just by being born.
