Our Blessing

Calvin Joshua Gilbert was born on July 10, 2010. He has changed our lives. He was named after John Calvin, my husband's favorite theologian and Joshua Mayhew, my brother who is an incredible man of God. His name actually means "Bald King"...haha, so as you can tell we didn't necessarily name him that for what it meant.

My goal is to devote this blog to him, update it as he grows and as we grow and learn as parents. I saw a movie tonight, you know, one of those inspiring movies that makes you ambitious and want to do things, so here I am starting another blog (as if I have the time or energy).

I got the title of the blog from a quote, "A new baby is like the beginning of all things--wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities." -Eda J. Le Shan

That's part of what I hope to share here...our dreams and prayers for Calvin. Pictures, milestones and beautiful memories, so that our loved ones and those who love Calvin and have prayed for him since before he was even conceived can feel as if they are watching him grow, change and learn along with us, just as we are embarking on this awesome new adventure. Hopefully, it will also give him something to look back on and appreciate. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into our lives as much as I know I will love creating it.
