Fireball

I talked to my oldest daughter today, who is pregnant and thinking of baby names.  We are all insanely excited about this baby, and it seems that everyone has name suggestions for the newest member of our family.  We have already learned that the baby is a boy. He has three older brothers who are wildly anticipating the arrival of their new baby. They have been discussing which one of them will be able to carry him first and which one of them he will be the most like.
When the boys dad was sort of scoping the kids out as to how they would respond to the idea of a new baby, he asked what kind of names they would choose.  They came up with a wide assortment of names for boys and girls. Then the youngest one thought for a minute and said that he thought "Fireball" would be a great name.  Now, the ultra sound shots and the belly shots of pregnant mamma, are filed under the name of Fireball.
The baby is due the beginning of May, but this recently past Christmas there were many presents under the tree for Fireball.  Our middle grandson, has had a favorite blanket for his entire life, that he has kept on his bed. This year, he wrapped it up and gave it to the new baby for Christmas.  Kind of reminds you of the genuine purity and generosity of childrens hearts,....doesn't it?
