Great News!

We are so very excited to announce that we have added another grandchild to our family. 

Brandon and Megan Hebdon are the happy parents of a sweet little boy

Turner Michael Rex Hebdon

born Sunday, 6 April 2014, 6:06am
8 lbs. 11oz., 21" long

We haven't seen him in person but we have seen photos of him and we can see that he fits our family.  It is always amazing how I can see a photo of our new grandchild and have that feeling that he or she fits and feel a great amount of love for them before I even see them in person and hold and hug them.  One just knows!   It's a wonderful blessing of family!

We received this photo of Turner on Tuesday while we were in the hospital and Terry was receiving red blood cells. 

My first thought was what a sweet face and then immediately thought, "Oh, poor baby!  He is taped up and lines everywhere - he must be so uncomfortable."  I felt so sorry for him.  Then, after getting over his taped up hands I noticed the blue lumen or clave (as they call them at the clinic) and a smile came to my face and heart as I made the connection.  The next photo shows the connection - Terry was just across the room from me looking like this. 

TURNER IS JUST LIKE HIS GRANDPA!  ;)   

You know how some people have the same eyes or nose or otherwise look just like their parent or sibling or grandparent?  Well, these two had the same life support system.   ;)     I love it!

Terry is a bit luckier since he didn't have to have the tube in his mouth and his hands all poked and taped. 

We welcome Turner to our family and look forward to sharing in his life, watching him grow, and loving him.  We will enjoy every moment when we can be together.  He is truly a blessing!

Don't they make an adorable family!?!?!

We are happy to share this special news with you, but want to point you in the right direction for more information about their family and Turner's health condition.   So we direct you to Brandon and Megan's blog (seen in the right column).
