Little Baby, Great Blessing
Raymond Casey was born on February 8th, 2007 at 3.40 pm. He will be called Casey, which is a great honor to us. His weight: 7 lbs and 4.5 oz and he is 21" long.
April had to have a C-section, because there was no change in the dilation for too long. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing well.
Casey is such a beautiful, little baby ( I guess all parents and grandparents say that, haha), although he may not be that little. His feet didn't fit on the inkpad and they only got half of them, including his little toes. That prodded one of the visitors to call him Mr. Bigfoot. No, his name is Casey!!! :-)
I had wanted to make this post earlier and include some pics of our grandson, but both Opa and Oma (Dutch for grandpa and grandma, hehe) were so thrilled and eager to visit and hold the little critter, that each time we went, we forgot to bring our camera and when we did... the batteries were empty!!! Arrgh. But finally... here he is!!!
Thank y'all for your prayers, those sweet comments, cards and e-mails. They warmed our hearts. We were grateful to be able to share this blessing with all you brothers and sisters. You are and have been a blessing to us. :-)
Thank You, Father, for watching over both mother and baby, for their health and well-being and most of all, for this wonderful blessing. May You guide and lead him to grow up to be a man after Your heart.
Luke 2:40
And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

Amanda,
Thank you!
And how is your little cutie doing? I suspect she is quite a sweet little lady herself. :-)
God's Grace.
I just dropped by to say hi and to see if there were any pictures of little Casey...such a precious little sweetie ;D!
I hope all is well with you and yours...things are pretty interesting in our corner right now, but I guess that's life depending on the day or the week! Blessings and ((HUGS)) to you...we'll talk to you soon.
Cinder,
Glad you dropped by! :-)
Ain't he sweet?! But I guess all grandparents think so about their grandbabies. :-D
I hope the interesting things are blessings!
(((HUGS)))
God's Grace.
Babies are awesome...
Adam,
They are miracles!:-)
God's Grace.
Corry I just wanted to say that all them little miracles are something special and the best thing is cause Opa and Oma can teach them,love them and spoil them! But I wanted you to know that my Grandkids are prettier than all the rest? Blessings. RON.
Congratulations!!!! He's precious, of course =]
It sure is nice when they're so small they don't get ideas about squirming out of your arms. On the other hand, watching them learn how to clap is fun, too!
Dearest Oma Corry
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Baby Casey is so cute and adorable =)))
Happy Valentine's Day to you, Lieve Zus.
Jesus loves you!
(((HUGS)))
I agree with you that he is a beautiful boy. Praise God everything went well with the birth. You are gonna love being Oma!
;-)
thanks for sharing the pictures,
he is cute!
Ron,
Yeah, we have the joys but not the burdens. And as far as your grandkids being prettier than the rest... I totally sympathize and emphasize, hah! :-)
Lenise,
He is already squirming! He doesn't like to lay against your shoulder and is trying to push his little head up to look around. Only then he seems to be content.
But yes, I am looking forward to watching him learn to clap his hands and Kc jokingly says he can't wait to teach him how to spit, haha.
Audrey,
Happy Valentine's Day to you as well, lieve zus!!!
I can't help it, but he seems to get cuter by the day. grin.
(((HUGS)))
Karen,

Blogger is getting cranky sometimes nowadays.

A big kiss to Baby Casey =)
Audrey,
Oh dear, I hope you can get back in your own site again. Nothing is more frustrating but I am glad you can at least get to your friends. Yep, patience is needed. This too shall pass. :-)

Hi Corry, Congratulations! There is something so peaceful about babies.
You and KC are so loving, and this is God's way of showing you back His love. May the Lord bless all your precious family.
