Tuesday evening we decided to Skype with Samuel’s family and see how they were doing. We had just  finished talking to Larry’s mom via Skype and just felt we should make that call to Sam’s family.  We were unable to contact them, so decided that naps and work were in progress.  Later, I was able to chat with Sam on the computer and found out that the new baby was going to be born on Wednesday, May 25, rather than June 1 and they had been busy with those arrangements.  Apparently, there were some  tests that were questionable at Angelique’s last check-up, so the doctor decided that it was prudent to deliver the baby a bit early.

This evening we received a text message that grandson number seven was born at 10:51 a.m. He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19 inches long. He was giving a lusty cry when we talked to his daddy shortly after his birth.   All appear to be doing well, tired, but blessed.  Last night when we first spoke to Sam, they had not decided on a name, but in a later conversation he said that they had decided on Arthur William.  Arthur has a big brother and sister, ages 4 & 2.  So he will have some good teachers to watch over him and teach him what he needs to know. 🙂

We had a good evening at Bible Study and continued the study in James before having prayer time together.

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is a reward.  Psalms. 127:3

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers. Proverbs 17:6
