Bon Anniversaire, Hayden Dean!

He’s here! Baby Hayden Dean Aucutt made his arrival on Saturday, May 2 at 12:44 PM. He weighed in at 7 lbs. 11 oz, 21″ long, 14″ head circumference…He’s a handsome boy! Nana and Poppa are so proud of Hayden and his parents, Chelsie and Collin. Braggin’ rights go to the grandma. 🙂 Yes, you can tell us how cute he is.

Now you also know one of our biggest prayer requests. His parents will not let us take him as carry-on when we leave for France…Sigh. They are mean mean parents. (JUST joking). They are not mean. They are very loving for baby Hayden. 🙂

Awwww, he's so cute

It is amazing how much we can cram into the 24 hours of each day that the Lord has given us. I’m sure He does not intend for us to be THAT busy. I’m sure I have forgotten some things, many things, but the brain slots are too full to overflowing and much has leaked out. Be still, my heart. Man makes his plans, but the Lord God has the final words on each day. (my paraphrase on Prov. 16:1) Whew.

peace. be still.
