Her name is Adele Elizabeth and she is a sweet and tiny baby at 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 inches long.
I have spent nearly as much time on Expedia.com (searching for affordable holiday airfare) as I have gazing at pictures of her beautiful face. We are so eager to meet her in person and hold her in our arms! But, for the present, I will have to content myself with working on her nursery window curtains and then a little pink quilt to go with them.
Babies are such a blessing. We treasured the birth of each of our three children and find these grandchildren to be equally, if not even more, precious. Here are a few verses from one of my favorite Psalms:
Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one's youth.
Blessed is the man
whose quiver is fully of them.
Psalm 127:3-5
I'd paraphrase those verses and say, "Blessed are the grandparents..." because that's just how we feel -
blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving!

She is beautiful! I bet you can't wait to meet her.
I love the scripture you chose too. Your blogs always stir emotions in me.
Thank you for sharing.
Nancy, thank you for that tender comment. I'm guessing you feel the same way about O. and little Miss M. as we do about our 5 little ones.
