I have a new nephew

Congratulations to Garnet and Lisa on the birth of their new son, and to Nathan and Teresa on another little brother!
"Carson"
Born: Oct. 21st



A Mother's Prayer
"I washed the dirt from little feet, and as I wash I pray,
"Lord, keep them pure and true, to walk in Your way!"I wash the dirt from little hands, and earnestly I ask, "Lord, may they ever willing be, to do the humblest task."I wash the dirt from little knees, and pray, "Lord, may these be the places where victories are won, and guidance sought from Thee."I scrub the clothes that soil so soon, and pray, "May they be dressed throughout eternal ages in Your robe of Righteousness."Before many hours shall pass, I know I'll wash these hands again; And there'll be dirt upon their clothes before the day shall end.But as they journey on through life and learn of want and pain, Lord, keep their precious little hearts cleansed from sin and stain!For soap and water cannot reach where You alone can see.Their hands and feet, these I can wash --- I trust their hearts to Thee."


"Yes, I get to hold him too! "

Awwwhhhh! Isn't he sweet! Doesn't this make you want another little one? I would love another baby, but I get nervous just thinking about pregnancy.

Is this your brother or your sister's child? How many siblings do you have?

Oh yeah your nephew was born on my daughter's birthday Oct. 21st : )

I just showed my husband your picture and he agreed with me that we look alike. I take that as a compliment because you are very pretty!

Wow! Your the oldest of 12! That's so cool! You don't really hear of families that big anymore. Both my parents come from large families. My mom was the youngest of 12. My dad was 1 of 11. He has a twin brother. His mother had 4 sets of twins & 3 singletons : )
