CAUTION: POSSIBLE OVERSHARING ALERT
Thanks for indulging this new Gram Tam as I share pics of our sweet little grandson Leo—our first grandchild and adorable little boy—who was born one week ago today!
Our daughter Kelsey and I had the blessing of being in the delivery room (along with Kellie’s mom Leslie and twin sister Kristen), and oh…I will be forever grateful for that gift. I still can’t believe it worked out for us all to be in there! (Joe happily hung out in the waiting room <g>).
Leo has already changed so much during the week. . .
We are so in love with this boy and so grateful God brought him into our lives. Joe and I (along with the entire extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, etc…) look forward to coming alongside Kurt and Kellie to love their son and teach him in the way of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies and to help hide God’s Word in his precious heart.
There is no greater gift to give a child. Or to a grandparent.
As if we needed more pics, and of course we did, we had a newborn photo shoot today. More on that coming up, but I will tell you that Sally (of Snaps with Sally in Franklin, TN) does an amazing job! If you live in the Nashville area and are looking for a photographer, reach out to her. More once the pics are ready . . .
God’s richest blessings to you this coming weekend as we celebrate Christmas! And while it IS a beautiful time of year, it’s not without heartache and heart stirrings for Home. But even in those sorrows, in those yearnings, there is such hope! All because Christ left his home in glory and made his dwelling among us.
Speaking of…
If you haven’t started watching The Chosen yet, let me know where you live and I’ll drive over right now. We’ll pile up and start watching it together! However, understanding that your schedule may not allow for that, please please please (if you haven’t) take time this weekend to watch The Chosen with your loved ones. Totally binge Seasons 1 and 2, then enjoy the first two episodes of Season 3 that just released!
Watch the Season 3 trailer…

Much love, friends, and thanks for indulging me. See you again, Lord willing, on January 3, 2023! Can you believe another year has passed.
So grateful we’re on this journey together,
Gram Tam
