Right in the middle of this time filled with chaos and strife in our nation and world, God gave us our eighth grandchild, making the final count a nice even four boys and four girls. He was born a month early, but is doing great as is our daughter. He weighed in at 5 lbs. 8 oz. and is 18 1/2 inches long. Unfortunately, we haven't met him yet, (neither have his siblings), due to the coronavirus restrictions at the hospital. We are all very excited for his mama and him to come home!

Since 2009 I've been counting my blessings thanks to the prompting of Ann Voskamp.
I continue to count my thanks,
piling up gratitude day by day in my journal.
