Baby Update
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 106:1
Isn’t it amazing how quickly babies change and grow? This time, it had been eight days without seeing Selena (a long time) and she seems like such a big girl now. Well, like a big girl baby. We’ve been noticing this for a while, but especially so yesterday. She’s giving huge smiles, does her own version of “talking”, which she does a LOT, loves to play with her hands and feet, and all of the other neat things that “older” babies do. So our newborn is gone.
I’m so thankful to see her growing, even though something makes me want to grab the reins so that it doesn’t happen too fast. The older she gets, though, the better she can learn about God, so that’s good. And I’m happy to see and hear that she’s already being taught about Him.
And guess what? Not too long ago, we were surprised to find out that Selena and her parents are moving to a new house, which is quite a big thing for them. But that’s not the best part for PopPop and Nanna and Auntie Nee. The nicest part of this surprising news was that they’ll be closer to us. Actually, the distance has been cut just about in half! So with God blessing my hubby and me in these later years with a granddaughter, He is even bringing her to a location that is a good bit easier for us to get to. And it will be easier for her to come see us now.
Our Lord has been so kind these past several months, and I’m rejoicing in his goodness to His undeserving children.

Thank you so much for coming yesterday! You came bearing food!It was exciting to see recognition on Selena's face when she saw you. Yes, our little one is growing. I can't believe how the time flies.
How exciting for you! Ava is really getting big too- I can't believe she'll be 3 months in 2 days!
