A New Arrival!

 Jack Bryan Pendleton
In all the excitement of Bryan's news, I forgot to post the more important news.  Jack Bryan Pendleton was born on October 14, 2011. He weighted in at 6 lbs, 10 oz. 19 inches long.  He has a look of both his parents.  He was born with club feet.  People say-that can be fixed, if he has to have a abnormality that is a great one to have.  But that still means he has to have casts for the next  few months and then braces for a year or so and that doesn't include the pain and suffering he has to go through. Any pain an infant has to go through is hard to watch.  James and Katy are doing well and taking it all in stride.  They will love him and care for his every need.   How blessed Jack is to have his parents.  He is a very special spirit that came to a great home.  Thank you Lord for sending him to our family. 

That makes 9 beautiful grand children we now have.  They all have their own personalities that Bryan and I love.  Tender mercies in have trials.  Kids we love you all.

Kind of like saying Gracie has the best kind of cancer! Every second a parent watches their child suffer is painful and they will have far more than they want. Poor little Jack will also endure much and to start from birth...what a champion. It's going to be a long hard road...but they will all come out on top. He is a gorgeous baby and I'm sure an incredibly special spirit straight from the arms of heaven...I think you're right about Grandpa:) I'm sure he sent him on his way with some of Grandpa's special strength.
