Micah Ryder Grandsons are a Blessing

 It seems quite ironic that one of my last posts was about Alex and Ivy having a baby boy, and now I am making a post about Alex and Ivy having a baby boy two years later.  Yep, our count is now 6 grandkids 6 and under.  What is funny is we have four boys and 2 girls, but for our kids we have 2 boys and 5 girls.  One more baby boy and we will reverse our status in boy girl ratio.  No there are no new babies on the way that we are aware of but I am hoping for many more in the future.

Christmas Eve 2020, during our Christmas Eve party, Alex and Ivy announced another baby on the way.  We were supper happy and quite surprised.  The surprises kept coming as they later found out it was another boy.  The nine months flew by for us and  before we knew it, we were having a shower and then we got the call that they were at the hospital.  It was all such a blessing and we are grateful for this new little life.  Micah Ryder was born in August, right between my grandpa and nephews birthday.  I guess he wanted his own day.  He has such a beautiful smile and we are so grateful for the time we get to spend with him.  His brothers love him and Dad and Mom are so proud.  

Alex is still preaching up a storm at his church.  He is the Youth Pastor but gets to preach to the church on occasion.  This is supper nice for me, because they stream those sermons and I get to hear them.  It is not too far away, so on occasions we have made the trip to hear him speak.  

Here are a couple links if you would like to hear a great message and some family stories.  I love that he incorporates his growing up years in his sermons.  If nothing else it is great parables.  

Ivy is busy with the three little boys but still finds time to homeschool, lead a Bibles study for moms, and is very active in their youth group.  Anyways, they are doing great and we are so blessed to see God's hand in their lives.  

Once again I hope you all are having a great day and God Bless.
