Picture of the day - March 7, 2008

My granddaughter Madison standing in her crib

Photo by Rick Rouse. It's been almost 11 months since God gave Cheria and me a new little bundle of joy named Madison, our second granddaughter. And like her big sister Olivia before her, she has provided us with one thrill after another as she grew and learned new things about herself and the world around her. And that amazing process is continuing as we speak... Well, a few days ago Madison figured out how to grab onto the side of her crib and pull herself up into a standing position. Now we have to watch her like a hawk and only put her in there when we'll be able to stand right there and watch her, lest she climb over the railing and fall to the floor below. I snapped this photo of our little angel the other night as she gazed up at her proud granny. As our beautiful granddaughters are growing up, Cheria and I have the privilege of  watching them "graduate" from one stage of life to the next, offering encouragement and help as needed while asking for God's favor upon their lives and futures. One of His greatest gifts is the pleasure of being a grandparent, and I for one am enjoying every minute of it!     Visitor Comments...
