"Delight is the delicious taste we get when something good happens. Worries fade away, frustration evaporates, and anger disappears, when a baby is safely born or a friend passes their exams, when a problem is solved or a conflict resolved. Delight opens the heart.”~ 16 Guidelines for Life

Delight is the perfect word we felt this summer when Sara and Chris shared the most wonderful news of their pregnancy. This was such special news! In these past few months of adjusting to this growing life in our family, it has been very special to watch the changes in Sara. Watching our daughter blossom as a mother-to-be is touching, and we thank God for this blessing. Chris is glowing in his new role as father-to-be and taking good care of Sara. The milestones of development have become an addition to our reading. Life has new meaning.

This image was taken shortly after Sara and Chris gave Bobby a second present for his birthday wrapped in the shape of a picture frame. When I saw the shape of this gift, I immediately jumped for joy as I suspected it was an announcement of a baby. It was a fun and never-to-forget birthday surprise for us.

We look forward to becoming grandparents in mid March.
