Sweet baby Peyton William

A new little hand has wrapped it's tiny fingers around my heart forever. Peyton William Smith was born Saturday, March 14 around 10:00a.m. to Tyler Smith and Mandy Blessing. He weighed 7 pounds and 3 ounces, was 20 inches long, and he is a charmer.

The Dr. induced his mommy on Thursday evening, and things did not progress well. The decision was made to do an emergency c-section on Saturday morning. Grampa Phil and I were so delighted to see baby and mom doing well when we arrived at the hospital.

Tomorrow is March 15th, the day when we lost our dear mom. I really like to imagine her sitting quietly in her rocking chair above us, gently making sure that an angel is available to take care of all the little ones. I know I could sure feel all the love and care wrapping around our family as we gathered to rejoice in this new little one.

A new generation starts. We are thankful, and blessed.
