Welcome Jaxson Avery Criswell!!

   On Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 9:42pm, my grandson Jaxson Avery Criswell was born to his AMAZING mother Kirstee and AWESOME father Evan! Jaxson was 8lbs and 20 1/2in long.
    Kirstee did an amazing job carrying and delivering Jaxson. Evan is deployed in the Persian Gulf serving in the Navy. With the perfect timing he has, he called as she was in hard labor and was delivering. So, in the only way he could, Evan still got to participate in the birth of his son.
    This is one of the many ways that our military sacrifices themselves for our freedom. Jaxson was the 8th baby born on this deployment. With a few months left to go, he is probably not the last. He was the only baby born on Leap Year!! We are very proud of our son and his new family for the sacrifices they make to protect our freedoms! Thank you so much Evan & Kirstee!
   Jaxson is cuter than cute. He looks just like his daddy (just chubbier). He is very alert and already "talking" away.
 

We are all so excited about Jaxson coming into our family. He is such a blessing already. We can not wait to meet him. It will not be long till Evan comes home and we make the long awaited trip to San Diego. It will be a vacation of many 1st's. This is when we will be able to meet Jaxson for the first time. We will also be able to meet Kirstee's parents for the first time, and my kids will be able to go to Sea World for the 1st time!! The new journey of being a grandma is exciting and I can not wait. I saw a saying, "Grandma's are mommies with frosting." I thought it was cute. Well, I am sure there will be many more posts on Jaxson. I can't wait to share in his life. I praise God for him, Evan, & Kirstee!
