What?
Oh. I guess I did forget one
minor detail, didn’t I? They posted a
very cute video on FaceBook of how they told the boys. Christi made one of those homemade jigsaw
puzzles, and she handed them one piece at a time. “It’s”
“a” “…” Then they stopped and asked the boys what
they thought it was. Caleb guessed boy
because it was wiggling so much. Zak
agreed, but his reason was a bit more practical, “Because I don’t know what to
do with a girl.” Dad readily agreed with
that take. And Zak did want to know some
more details, just to make sure. First
born, you know. He had to be assured
that Mommy was positive … there is only one in there, right? Can’t have any surprises. Great idea on the puzzle. Loved the post. Now. Moving
on …
What?
Oh. You want to know how the
video ended? What did the last pieces of
the jigsaw puzzle show? Will the baby be
revealed to be a boy or a girl? I guess
that would make this story somewhat
complete. You know, their name is
Vaughan. There was a time when that
would have been enough to assure one of those male types without question. But then came Cailyn. And then Noa.
Two girls amidst the preponderance of Vaughan boys. And in this case … that preponderance … has
been … continued. There it is. The newest Vaughan baby is yet another
Vaughan boy. And we are unspeakably excited, of course. Perhaps not as overjoyed as Caleb was in the
video. After all, he had two things to
celebrate. A new baby brother. And, perhaps more important … he guessed
right. They both did. Way to go, Caleb and Zak. Now let’s talk about those names you two have
picked out. What were they again? Joseph?
Adam? Do Mom and Dad even get a
say in this?
Now.
Moving on …
Psalms 96:1 says, “Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.”
Father, thank you for the new little guy
you are forming. Can’t wait to meet
him. Amen.
