If you will, please remember this tiny baby in your prayers. He’s the grandson of a very dear friend of mine. Logan was born on July 25. His due date was in October, making his mommy 26 weeks along, being born 3 months and 3 days early.
Logan was 1 lb 9.4 oz when he was born and is now weighing, as of this morning, 1 lb. 8.3 oz. The little guy is now 12-1/2” long.
He’s a real trooper and is fighting with all his little body can fight with. His Grandma said that he’s starting to recognize his mommy when she comes in the room and hears her voice. She said he tries so hard to open his eyes, and starts kicking his feet.
I asked my friend if there were any specific prayers, other than the obvious…and this is her reply…” A prayer of thanks for the miracle called "Logan.”
On a personal note, I’ve read the emails daily from my friend. I’ve known her for years, I’ve heard her talking about her family for years…but I’ve got to tell you that I’m SO impressed with how her children have all banded together in support. What an incredibly wonderful and loving family.
Father God, we lift up Logan’s little body to you. We pray that you can strengthen him hourly, daily, weekly, until he’s grown enough to go home with his precious family. We ask for guidance for the doctors and nurses who are caring for him. We ask for strength for his parents and extended family. Thank you so much for the gift of life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Fellow Freepers…….I bring you Logan!!!
Well, he's got his daddy's eyes, but he gets his good looks from his momma!
No offense, Bud!
Thanks, SO MUCH Tonkin for having been so faithful this past year. We could always count on you coming over here before you went to bed, and after you got up in the morning...with a prayer for Logan.
I don't think you'll EVER be able to grasp what that meant!!
I see Uncle G in Logan, too....do you??
It's become an obsession with me!
I can't get enough pictures of him!
I think I need to buy space on a satellite so I can post his pictures for the next twenty years or so.
That's IT? Only twenty more years????
The boy will ONLY be 21!!! LOTS of fun stuff to post after that!!
Come ON, Cowboy!!!
Beth and Uncle G. look a lot alike, 'cept Beth is a LOT prettier!
Yep and YEP!!!!
OKAY! You talked me into it!
I'll stop after his fifth grandchild.
We can handle that.
For now.
Thank you.
I thought about you at the birthday party.
I was wishing you could be there to squeeze the little punkin.
The last picture is so familiar. I can't tell you how I enjoy these pictures and what love I feel for this little guy. He has a great family, as you know.
Oh My .. What WONDERFUL pictures. A wonderful way to end my day ... with a smile on my face
Thank you so much Tex for the ping and letting us share Logan's 1st Birthday
Happy Birthday Logan ... God Bless You {{{HUGS}}}
Auntie Stanz, a special, "THANK YOU", dear lady.
A special THANKS to you, too!!!!!!
Thanks Uncle TC for everything YOU have done
to bring this miracle called Logan into our lives.
And a wonderful way to end mine, Mo.
I hope everyone has a great evening.
May God bless you and keep you.
Good night......
Happy Birthday, Logan!!
Nite TC...sleep WELL!!!
Sorry you had to (.....) suffer so much with taking these pictures. I know it must hurt, holding the camera, smiling at the boy, BEING THERE IN PERSON MORE THAN ME BUT JUST YOU WAIT I'M MOVING TO TEXAS CLOSER THAN YOU AND THEN I'LL GET TO HOLD HIM TOO SO THERE!!! AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT.
Ahem.
Uh.......thanks! LOL!!! Nite, good friend!!
My pleasure. I get a kick out of the little guy. It's been so long since little feet ran around here. Thanks so much for everything....being a courier and photographer and all-around good-guy Uncle.
I believe in miracles!
Termite: Thank you for sharing your birthday pictures.
P.S. I'm of the opinion that the sign of a good party is the quality of the nap afterwards. Based on that criteria, it looks like your party was an awesome one!
