This word leaves me speechless. It was given by God to both Matt and me for this year, 2024:

“Grandparents”

Asa and Eva announced their upcoming arrival to all of us on Christmas day. Not to discount the other presents I opened that morning, but most certainly this was my favorite gift.

We praise God for this joy and we look forward in anticipation to all that is to come.

Grandparents.

I like this word.

UPDATE:

Mr. Arrow Joseph Coppinger was born on June 17 and is a precious blessing to us all. His name comes from the beautiful passage found at the beginning of Isaiah 49. His parents, Asa and Eva, are amazing and we are so proud of them.

Lolli and Pop are overjoyed and grateful for the gift of grandparenthood!
