An Addition to the Family!

Yes, our family is growing!  God is again blessing our family with a child, this time a grandchild.  I can't imagine what having a grandchild will be like but, the GRAND on the word child must be for a reason.  Our beautiful daughter Briley and her amazing hubby are expecting in October.  So the love keeps growing.
The proud parents
Briley and Matt recently went for an ultrasound to find out if they were having a girl or boy.  We decided the weekend before that it would be fun to tell the family all at one time.  We gathered at Briley and Matt's house anxiously waiting to hear. I threw together some fast decorations with pink and blue not knowing which color to use, so we had to have both.
Which will it be?


Of course there was a difference of opinion.  Would the announcement be that it is a girl or it is a boy?  There were those of us that thought it would be a boy and those that thought it would be a girl.  Who would be right?

The Girl Team

Briley uncovers the cupcakes to reveal what they are having.  Matt's face says it all and the little girls get what they want IT'S A GIRL!
It's A Girl


Then the party begins!  Celebrating this new little life.  A life of a little girl who I know God already has a purpose for in this world. 











I know this because 26 years ago in the same month as this little one is expected God blessed Barry and I with the most amazing gift.  Not only did we receive the gift of being a parent for the first time, but a gift of a daughter so precious and so special.  A daughter who has loved, encouraged, challenged and most of all made me want to be a better person because of the person she is.
