Three years ago, we were blessed with an amazing child. His name is Alex. He is still amazing. 🙂
On Oct 4th, we were doing a concert in our park in Palmyra (yes, that in itself was crazy…) and Jen was in labor, ready to have a baby… which was the REALLY crazy part.
We got to the hospital at 9pm, and were getting ready to go have a baby… and I just felt a really strong urge to pray. I felt like God was saying that this baby (whom we did not know yet) was going to do big things for Him and I needed to pray… and I did… and I gave God this baby… saying whatever it is you’re asking me to do… this baby is yours. It was vague and ambiguous, but quite powerful. So powerful that of all the crazy stuff that happened that day, THAT is the most present memory that remains in my head.
Well, Alex came along only a few hours later, and was SO fast in coming into the world (a preview of his current personality…) that Jen had some fairly serious blood loss. Blood is better INSIDE your body than out of it… But, the doctors stopped that and Jen recovered. A bit slower, but she recovered.
And we were left with the coolest looking, big-eyed, awesome little boy in the world (besides Ian, of course…) 🙂
We had no idea what would be in store for us, and, we still don’t really… but so far, it’s been an adventure. 🙂
Alex is full of energy, independent, so FUN, and the most polite and considerate little boy you have ever met. (Besides Ian, of course…) 🙂 He is so great at making his own fun in life, marching to the beat (and quite a good one, too) of his own drum. That certainly makes disciplining him more difficult, but I imagine it will continue to be an adventure watching him live life for as long as we get to. 🙂
So, anyway, please celebrate with me the life of our son, Alexander Caedon Campbell.
