Number nine


Although he’s number nine he holds a place in our hearts as dear as any of our other eight grandchildren. We just haven’t gotten to know him yet.

Our hearts jumped a little when the phone rang last night at 10:20 pm. We’ve been answering calls lately that we wouldn’t normally answer because any of them might be THE ONE. But when it actually is THE ONE, we were still a little surprised.

Little Joshua came into this world around 9:30 last night weighing in at 8 pounds, 1 ounce and measuring 19 inches. Although his mom claims that he is two weeks early, his size indicates that he was ready. And we’re ready to go see him. Christmas plans mean that won’t be for a week or so. But Joshua better watch out ‘cause he’s gonna be smothered in love.
