Congratulations Travis and Lauren

Molly Elaina

"She arrived around five-ish, about the same time Kenny was born!" There is nothing more special than a new Grandchild and a proud Grandpa! Kenny's brother, Don called me first thing this morning to say our dear Molly Elaina has arrived. Right on Kenny's birthday! Yes, today really is a good day! Thank you God!

I know Ken is laughing today. He loves little girls. In the early days, he had said "I don't want any daughters." He was quite convinced that he couldn't relate to those giggly, precious little things. Well the good Lord listened and blessed us with our three fabulous sons. But...funny how, over the years, and getting to know first--my two sisters, Lisa and Libby and then our many nieces, Ken totally changed his mind. He grew to love little girls as much as he does little boys! For sure, it was Lisa & Libby, Teri & Kristin, Lauren & Marisa & Jesse & Sadie; and our newest little sweethearts--Katie Belle and Granddaughter Chloe that warmed his heart to them. Now...our little Molly Elaina has arrived to add to the family numbers! Yes, I know Molly's Uncle Kenny is smiling and laughing today on his birthday. What a gift for us all!

And once again I'm reminded there are no coincidences... Clearly things come together for good purpose. Today is another miracle for us, life has come full circle--instead of being a day of mourning--it's a day of celebration. Congratulations Travis and Lauren; she is beautiful! And Happy Birthday Kenny! I am not grieving today. Life is Good! And I love you...always!
