Below this article, I posted a "Smilebox" photo album of our former campus daughter with her husband and their brand new daughter, but I have to post a BIG picture here and write a little bit.
Becky came to us as a campus daughter the 2nd semester of her freshman year. She was a good friend of Sarah P, a campus daughter, and when Sarah learned that Becky didn't have campus parents, she asked if we would consider adopting Becky into our campus family. We did and enjoyed Becky as a daughter for 3-1/2 years of her college life.
Becky was our first campus daughter to marry which meant we now had a campus son-in-law. And now two years later, they are parents to their brand new baby daughter, that means we now have a campus grandbaby!!!
We waited until all of the REAL grandparents (from GA and from SC) had come and gone before we went over to Becky's and Paul's to take supper last evening and to meet precious little Aleana. She was born nearly 4 weeks premature and had to stay in ICU for her first week of life relating to her immature lungs and then had a big bout of jaundice which landed her back in the hospital to get that treated,but she is now home and thriving. She was enjoyed her "dinner" when we arrived and was so sweet to hold and cuddle after she had eaten.
We shall pray for Paul and Becky as they raise their beautiful baby daughter in the Lord and shall enjoy watching Eleana grow up. God is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
