From Generation to Generation

Cadence had the privilege of meeting my Granny Ladshaw this weekend. She will turn 90 this year on August 28.

These are 4 generations of hands: my dad, Bill Ladshaw, age 63, me, Jordan Ladshaw Blanton, age 31, my grandmother, Granny Ladshaw, age 90, and my daughter, Cadence Blanton, age 6 weeks.

The four generations.

I pray that Cadence would grow to love the Lord as much as Granny Ladshaw does and be faithful to Him, following in the footsteps of the generations that have gone before her.

Go Baby, Grow!

Cadence weighed in at 7 lbs 4oz this week at her 6 week check up. She has grown to 20 inches long and is now wearing newborn sizes!

First Bath

Here is the story of Cadence's first bath:

I'm not really sure what is up with the male-patterned hair loss but Cadence and I are both protesting Jody's suggestions to just shave it off!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
