Grandparenthood

So this post seems late, but we welcomed little Micah John on December 29, 2014. It is late.  But, when he was born, it never occurred to us to post it on our blog.  We were occupied with the wonder of being  grandparents and enjoying his little self.

As newborns are not very thoughtful about their entry into the world (I mean, it would have been convenient to know at least the day of his arrival--it was peak holiday season!) we had plans to celebrate with Pete and Elizabeth, and then head north to celebrate with John's parents.  We arrived in Illinois, celebrated with the Turners.  Jean stayed back in Illinois as we weren't sure what was happening with this baby; the rest of the family went on to spend a day in Wisconsin and return to Elkhart.

That night, Elizabeth was ready to go, and Micah was born the next morning.  Here he is just after being cleaned up.  Isn't he cute?  This little guy is yet another generation.  What an amazing thought!
