Birth of Second Grandson - 11/01/06 01:27 AM

Sharing with all of you my joy and blessing on the birth of my second grandson last Sunday at 3:00 A.M. His name is Matthew James. My granddaughter upon hearing that she has a baby brother exclaimed: "Boy, again?" And that is how she (who is 2) and her older brother (who is 6) have been fondly calling him since the baby came home...Again. My daughter is fine and had a very uncomplicated pregnancy and childbirth. My son-in-law is over the moon. My older grandchildren are ecstatic over the new addition to their family. My heart bursts with love. I am grateful to have been blessed once again with a grandchild. God is good.

Lola,
You're talking to the Queen of GrandmotherHOOD. I just loved reading your description of the new addition, Matthew James. How wonderful for you all. God has truly blessed you and will continue to do so, I'm sure.

CONGRATS!

Many thanks, Y'all. What a swell thing that is to share names with your love ones, Jackie and Dotsie. My grandson is a seventh generation Matthew from his Dad's side of the family. It is also the first name of his older brother and his Dad and so on and so forth. Second names in the family are after the Apostles. The girls are always given the first two names as Mary Margaret and likewise, there are seven generations of Mary Margarets in that family!

Matthew James is quite a different baby from the older two, I have been told. He sleeps through the night!

My Dad's name is James...and my youngest son, the one I call THE SON in all my writing, is named JAMES. You KNOW I love it! And my nephew is Matthew. This child of yours is special. I think I will adopt him from afar...at least in my heart. Sokay by you?
