Well, we have a new grandson, Gideon David, born on November 28, 2016, and a new great grandson, Eli Jared, born on November 29, 2016! WOW! Unbelievable! We are so blessed!
Gideon was originally due on or about December 5, and Eli was due on or about December 13. I kept saying "wouldn't it be funny if they were born on the same day!" They ALMOST were!
We didn't know what Gideon's name would be until he was born. I LOVE his name. Gideon, the story of Gideon in the Bible has always been one of my favorite Bible stories, if not the favorite. And of course, David after his father. He looks so much like David when he was a baby, but I can see his mommy, Amy in his face too, especially when he grins. So proud of all my grandbabies. Wish Gideon lived closer to us so we could cuddle and love on him more, but understand in this day and age that doesn't happen as often as grandparents would like.
We have been very blessed that the girls live very close to us and we have always seen our other grandbabies a lot. It sounds selfish to want Gideon too, or does it? I think it is just normal to want all my babies around close!
I know his parents are some of the best parents a baby could have, even if they are mine, so I have no worries on that part.
We knew that Danielle and Jared were going to have the name Eli, and I love love love that name also, and it fit him so well when we saw him. He also has the middle name Jared after his father. And he looks exactly like his father, Jared. Wow! So much like him. I see Danielle once in a while when I look at him, but he is Jared all over!
We have no worries about this baby and his parents either, they love God and their family so much and are such wonderful young people.
