Overjoyed!

Our hearts were blessed as we recently met our newest grand-baby who was born in September.  He is the third for us – the second child (son) to our oldest daughter and her husband.  We were amazed at how much he looks like his older brother in this newborn stage.  It was as if we were back in the past, two years ago, meeting the same little boy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them – catching up on their lives and them catching up on ours.  But the play time and cuddle time with the “boys” were the highlights.

Although we skype with our older grandson, who is now two, it seems to always take a few days for him to “know” us again when we visit.  But once we get down on the floor and rev the cars, build towers with blocks, or sit and work puzzles together we are so “in” his world.  The joy on his sweet face just melts this grandma’s heart; and the deep belly laugh that he gives his grandpa when he is tossed in the air and over his shoulders is a beautiful sound to hear.

Our hearts were encouraged as we watched our older grandson learning to love his brother at such a young age.  He was tender with him, wanting to hold him and very willing to give him kisses.  He also wanted to wrestle with him but that is where his mama drew the line explaining that he would have to wait a few years for that.  He truly is a huge help to his mama and daddy in caring for this newest member to his family.  What a joy to see!
