BENJAMIN DEACON HINCKLEY ARRIVES

The new grandbaby, I spoke about earlier, arrived on December 19, 2006. It was a surprise delivery - a C-section. My daughter-in-law, Jennifer, gave birth to a beautiful boy...Benjamin Deacon. My heart was sooo full of gratitude & love for this precious little boy, & I could hardly wait to hold him in my arms. Jennifer & Shiela sent many photos so I could share their good news with Uncle Bryan, Mammaw & Pappaw, and aunts/uncles/cousins.

I had the privilege of spending time with this new grandson the entire month of March when I flew to Boston. Of course, Jaaym took many, many photos of her 'angel boy', & happily babysat him once Mama Shiela went back to work. Each day was a new adventure - I was amazed at his day-to-day growth. The most recent photo (at right w/Mama Shiela) at 5 mos., is when his Mommies took him on a walk for the March of Dimes on April 29, 2006. My regret is that I wasn't there to witness their walk & enjoy my grandson once again.

While in Boston, I purchased tee-shirts for the 5 grandchildren in Lubbock, and their Daddy. It makes my heart soar to see the children, and my son, wearing their shirts. The children are growing up so fast! Layna will soon be 10 yrs old; Storey will be 9 in Sept.; Haile is 5 yrs; Kailan is 4 yrs and Liam Paul is 2 yrs. Aren't they a beautiful site? My treasures!!!!!

These 6 grandchildren, my son, my daughter and my daughter-in-law, Jennifer, is what help me keep going in life. I am a blessed woman and rich, not in earthly treasures, but in heavenly blessings.
