I can honestly say I am so surprised as to how fast this last year has gone by. It was October 23rd, 2013 and the count down was over. Our first Grandson, Ely Michael Allen was born on an absolutely gorgeous day in fall of that year. The long anticipated call was received, Jen was in labor, come when you can. So quickly we gathered our two boys from their schools and headed up that highway. No matter how fast we could go, it wasn't fast enough, our Ely arrived as we zipped through the Lake of the Ozark. And honestly that's how it should have been, just the two of them, Jen and Eric meeting and loving their first born and cherishing the new family that they had become.
In no time at all, we too were welcoming this sweet bundle of joy, treasuring the miracle of him. And then in a blink of an eye, this precious little new born grew into a charmingly handsome one year old. He has completely stolen hearts and filled lives in a way I hadn't even imagined. I thank God for the gift of him and can't wait to see what his future holds.
Happy Birthday Ely Michael!
With Much Love,
Grandma Debbie
