Beckon - a new Great-Grandson (picture)

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

We have been blessed with the birth of another Great-Grandson. He makes our 6th and we feel we are so fortunate to have great-grandchildren at our age.

Beckon Preece (French for Prince) Jarvis was born on November 13 at 7:00 PM. He weighed 7# exactly. This picture was taken Thanksgiving day.

I was so upset because he was born during the time I was doing a craft show. I couldn't get there for his birth as I have for the other babies, but as soon as we were done at the show that evening, we headed to Michigan to see him.

Kelsey (our granddaughter) and Todd are wonderful parents and Bleydn loves his new brother.

This next few days I am getting ready for the big celebration party for my Mom. My brother arrived last night and my nephew will arrive this evening. The rest of the family will be in later in the week. Oh what fun we are going to have. I just hope I get everything done I need to do.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting with me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you!!!!

What a precious looking baby. I know you will enjoy him very much.
I love being a grandmother so I can't imagine what it'll be like to be a great-grandmother.

Thanks for sharing and have a great party with your Mom.

Wow! You have me beat...I am the grandmother of 10 grandchildren and hopefully a great grandma for the first time. My oldest Granddaughter is 19 and "is in Love" and they are talking marriage. So I have been thinking how it would be to be a great grandma. My next oldest Grandchild is 12...has a ways to go and grow yet. LOL
CONGRATULATIONS!

Hi, Joan: Congrats on this absolutely gorgeous little man (and he and I share the same birthdate - just a few years apart!). God has blessed you all enormously, particularly to have great-great grandma still with you to be able to enjoy all these babies! What a treasure. Have fun and give him a hug for all of us out here. Kris, Wadsworth, OH
