Well the day has finally arrived! As of Friday August 19th at about 3:40 pm Carol and I became Grandparents. We got to see little Mercy Ray Knakal for about half an hour on Friday, then on Sat morning at 4:00 am we left for South Carolina where we are today. Mercy weighed in at 8 lbs 10 oz and 20 ½ inches long. As one who has long been quietly critical of grandparents who always want to show pictures of the little ones I have to admit I have already shown off pictures of my beautiful granddaughter.
We will be leaving the girls off at BJU for their junior year, so things around home will be much quieter than they have been for the last few months. We, however, will not be home that much to experience that peace and quiet.
By the time October comes and goes we will have been to churches in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Minnesota, and Michigan.
Since we now have a supporting church in Ohio I owe you all a picture of myself in an OSU shirt. It will be coming soon.
