My eldest daughter, Molly, has our newest grandchild, Meredith. Meredith Emily Palmer (5lbs 9oz) was born on March 16th. That was about a month early. Though as you can tell from the photo above, she's caught up! "Hey, did you know you can see EVERYTHING when you lift your head up?"
She fits right in.

Poor Rowan never got her own blog post. I was still busy writing sermons when she was born.
But what I would say to Meredith applies to both my granddaughters. I have absolutely no anxiety about how your life will run. Only wonder. Your grandmother is beautiful and bright and talented; a woman of distinction ! Her daughters, your mothers, share those traits. So you will be well loved, well educated, and allowed a creativity that is increasingly sublimated in our culture to a desire for security and an expectation of production. That's lucky!
(Now, if you become accountants, that's okay too. Maybe you'll have cool hobbies :)
Molly apparently caught Andrew whispering to his baby daughter that she shouldn't worry about doing anything too practical with her life.
Amen.
