Boy or Girl? What will it be?

·by Tamera Alexander

Our son Kurt and his lovely wife Kellie recently shared they’re having a baby! Our first grandchild, and we’re beyond excited.

This past Sunday, we had a reveal party, and their sweetly rambunctious double doodle Malcolm was the “revealer!” Watch the 15 second video below to see the reveal…

Yep, we all waited in the front yard and Malcolm ran out with a blue bandana and balloons to make the announcement—and to get his squeaking broccoli toy. Not sure if you heard it, but that’s Kels asking me “Why is the broccoli wet?” It’s because Malcolm slimed it!

So come December, Kellie and Kurt will be having a BOY! And we’ll be having a grandson.

So please, all of you grandmothers out there clue me into what this is going to be like. What’s the greatest joy of having grandchildren? Also, what do your grandchildren call you? Share any and everything!

Also, JOCELYN, you won the YOU CAN REST book giveaway on a post last month (your entry is below). So if you’ll write me HERE, I’ll get you your book!


This month I’m giving away a Dear Mushka Necklace (pic below) so be sure and check that out if you like jewelry. I love Dear Mushka creations and how they tie them to Scripture. This necklace is inspired by a verse in Micah:

No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
    and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
    and to walk humbly with your God.

Micah 6:8

Hugs from Nashville,
