Crew Martin: Baby #5

I am excited to announce that our 5th child is...dun, dun, dun, dahhhhh....a BOY!!! I secretly knew, had a feeling, it was a boy!! We had talked about how having a sister for Brynn would be cool too and would have embraced another little girl with open arms, but the Lord knows what our family needs and has given to us the exact little boy we need in our family. He is the ultimate provider and we are excited to raise another little boy in our family of little boys!!! It is our prayer that we are able to raise sons that love Jesus, serve Him, and do all things to His glory. It is quite an undertaking when we think about it. Spending quality time building and maturing each son and allowing God to chisel Men out of them.

We are so blessed to be called to such a high task and pray each day we might do a good job!!! Praise God for babies!!

Quotes About Motherhood

A Prayer for Womanhood God, give each true good woman Her own small house to keep, No heart should ache with longing, No hurt should go too deep..... Grant her age-old desire: A house to love and sweep. Give her a man beside her, A kind man, and a true, And let them work together And love, a lifetime through, And let her mother children As gentle women do. Give her a shelf for dishes, And a shining box for bread, A white cloth for her table, And a white spread for her bed, A shaded lamp at nightfall, And a row of books much read. God, let her work with laughter, And let her rest with sleep. No life can truly offer A peace more sure and deep.... God, give each true woman Her own small house to keep ~Grace Noll Crowell~ ~~~~~~1934~~~~~~
