A New Member of the Family


On October 2, 2010, Frances Eleanor entered the world,...our new granddaughter!!!
Henry and I were staying at Kalmia, our cottage on the river. The morning sunshine was sparkling on the water as we first heard the exciting news of her arrival!
Nothing better than good news in such a beautiful setting!And what GOOD NEWS... a safe arrival and a healthy mother and baby!!!
We used to sing a song to her mother and used it on her birth announcement. Here are the words for you to enjoy.

Welcome to the family
We're glad that you have come
to share your life with us
as we grow in love
and
may we always be to you
What God would have us be
A family always there
to be strong and to lean on.

May we learn to love each other
more with each new day.
May words of love be on our lips
in everything we say
May the Spirit melt our hearts
and teach us how to pray
That we may be a true family.

Welcome to Frances Eleanor Beck!
