Jack's older sister, Georgie, called me with the news that she and Jonathan will be having Baby #2 in 35 weeks. If they counted right, New Baby will be here near Jack's birthday in December. Jack would have been thrilled to have a new niece or nephew. He was a super-hero to Old Baby, Sophia, who reached up her 2 year old arms to signal that she was ready for a ride on his shoulders. She held on to his hair and yelled, "Yee-haw!" Off he'd lope, whinnying every few steps.

I'm thankful for God's reminder that life doesn't stop, that it keeps loping along whether I yell "Yee-haw" or "Woah."
