Thank Heaven for Little Boys

In the year of our LORD, 2013, God has blessed our extended family with a boatload of BOYS!

In February, our nephew, Ben had a son named William.
In April, our nephew, Christopher had a son named Liam.
In early June, our nephew, Micah had a son named Everette.
In late June, our nephew, Matthew had a son named Jude.
Is this beginning to sound like a begat chapter from the Bible?

We truly believe each of these little ones are a wonderful gift from our Heavenly Father, made in His image!

Henry and I are pleased to announce the arrival of our grandson, Anders Eliot.
 He was born August 5,2013 at 2:30 a.m.  He was 7lbs 7oz and has brown hair like his dad.
His parents, Tacy and Stephen and their three daughters rejoiced in his safe delivery.
We all welcomed him with lots of kisses and look forward to him meeting his cousin Ivey, when she visits at Christmas time!


"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; and called you by your name, You are mine.
...you are precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you..." from Isaiah 43.

Anders is the 25th great grandchild of my mother, Evelyn Johnson.  His name reminds her of her father, Andrew from Sweden and her sister, Esther Anderson.  We look forward to the seeing each of these babies grow into men that will seek to serve the LORD.
