Happy 2nd Birthday, Alex!

Psalm 127 (New Life Version)

1 ) Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders work for nothing. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the men who watch over it stay awake for nothing.
2 ) You rise up early, and go to bed late, and work hard for your food, all for nothing. For the Lord gives to His loved ones even while they sleep.
3) See, children are a gift from the Lord. The children born to us are our special pay.
4) The children of a young man are like arrows in the hand of a soldier.
5) Happy is the man who has many of them. They will not be put to shame when they speak in the gate with those who hate them.

Today we celebrate the 2nd birthday of our Alexander Benjamin. He is our number nine out of ten total and we certainly believe our three boys, their wives, and our grandchildren to be blessings from God.

We actually had his party at our house last Saturday evening and we all had a ball. This boy is a real character and we love him so much. It is our desire that we would be able to help shape his life into all God has in mind for him. He spent the night with us last night and we are always glad whenever we can spend time with our beloved little ones.

Each one is different and special in their own way and we pray for Alex and all of our kids and their families each and every day. You are something else little buddy and we hope you have a wonderful and blessed birthday!
