She Makes 12

Babies are such a nice way to start people.  ~Don Herrold

My eldest brother’s family just added one more to the mix.  His amazing wife had her second daughter in the middle of the night.  This niece was in a hurry to be crowned newest grandchild, in line at number 12 for my parents. 

After starting on organizing baby clothing, well after midnight, my sister soon realised she had to get to the hospital.  Her daughter arrived only 10 minutes after getting into the delivery room, they all JUST made it. 

A super busy night at the hospital meant they could go home only hours after my niece arrived to the world.  Healthy and happy and snuggled in at home, I got to hold her that night, still only hours old.  Beautiful and soft, she, like all the blessed newborns our earth receives, she is amazing. 

I was there when her sister got to meet her for the first time; joy and wonder filling big sisters face.  My three year old niece was able to clearly express her greeting and her joy at finally having her sister with in hands reach.  She stared, touched and glowed; glowing as both her mother and father did too. 

Congrats to Aaron and Karla’s family!  We love her already and are thankful you brought her into our lives.

The arrival of new life NEVER never gets old.  Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for another little member of our clan!

Ecclesiastes 11:5
Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
