New grandbaby

Posted by Leona Bergstrom
Our blog is called “Grace and Gravity” because the experiences of midlife usually fall in one of the two categories. Today I am experiencing grace in all capital letters and a few exclamation points. For today we celebrate the arrival of our grandson, Nolan Matthew. This beautiful little guy entered the world at 8:15 pm, September 4, and has deeply touched and forever changed our lives.

The Psalmist said we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Our new baby grandson adds the AMEN to that. This little guy (if you can call 8 pounds 8 ounces, 21 1/2 inches long “little”...) is truly a picture of God’s best work in creation. His bright and sparkling deep blue eyes open wide at the sound of his mom’s voice. He fits perfectly in the crook of his dad’s arms. It’s all just too wonderful for word!

And now, I get to bask in the glow and grace of being a grandma for the second time! Blessing upon blessing! Miracle upon miracle! Grace upon GRACE!
