It's a Boy! And his name is Evan.


Today I am celebrating the birth of my third grandson, Evan Daniel. We had the privilege to be at the hospital moments after he was born and to see him welcomed by his brothers and family. Mom and baby are doing great. He is 8 lbs 5 oz and 20 inches long.

It is a little ironic that as I am on sabbatical to read and learn about Trinitarian Leadership that my third grandson would be born. Not only is he the third son in his family but his father is the oldest of three sons as I, his grandfather, am the oldest of three sons. We seem to like to be in groups of three in our family. Megan, his mother is also, the oldest of three siblings!

Stuart has already given him his first bath and he is a beautiful, robust baby. It was a real joy to see mom and dad sitting, reading and playing with their three sons all together just hours after Evan was born.
