Today our eldest, Grace, is thirteen. We plan to have a small celebration with her tonight to honor her on her actual birth date, but we're planning a more elaborate celebration for her at the end of the month. The Lord has granted us thirteen years with our Gracie. He alone numbers our days. We are thankful for the time He has given us with her and pray He grants us many more years--we'd love to see some grandchildren being raised to His glory! Grace is becoming a beautiful young woman, both on the inside and the outside.
This morning the kids and I will head north to pick up Grandma Jane and bring her back down here to stay with us for a couple of days. Grandpa Tom is in Alaska salmon fishing. My mom is looking forward to helping us celebrate Grace's birthday, snuggling baby Jude and playing tons of board games with the kids.
An update on Jude--his jaundice is almost gone. He got his foot poked for the last time yesterday with his second PKU. He was also circumcised. I'm sure today will be a better day for him. He's such a good little baby. He's not fussy (at least so far anyway.) All the kids are head-over-heels in love with him and it's always a bit of a contest to see who gets to hold him. We can't imagine life without "the little fella," as Lydia so affectionately calls him.
