Jake Stump, who'll turn five in August, LOVES the rope swing I put up for him and the other two older grandsons. He shrieks with delight as his feet touch the top of the fence. So fun to be with.
Matt Franklin turns five in November. Loves to hike with us in the "forest" near our house. A math prodigy and a wonderful kid.
Ty Stump, Jake's younger brother. A sheer delight, who loves to play anything involving a ball. Just had a squirt gun fight with him. He won.
Jack Franklin, youngest grandson, loving life. A joy. I look into his big eyes and thank God for the wonders of childhood.
Thank you, Lord for such wonderful blessings. "We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done." (Psalm 78:4)

Mr. Alcorn,
I've read so much of your writings I feel as though I know you; so delighted to find you on Twitter, and your blog. I also have one on blogspot; etherobservations.blogspot.com., though nothing as deep and well-written as your writings.
LOVE the photos of your grandsons. You and your wife raised 2 girls, right? My husband & I raised 2 boys. They are a trip. Didn't think I'd have any idea HOW to raise boys, seeing as how I'd never been one, but with the Lord's help, we
all came through fairly unscathed.
Just got your newsletter in the mail; love your fiction, and everything else. I hesitate to loan your books out anymore cuz I rarely get them back-and it's to other CHRISTIANS! :)
Thank you for your love of Christ and your ability and Willingness to share what you know and observe! It is so much appreciated.
Blessings to you and yours,
Amy Schrock Fry (nenya71 on Twitter)
You know, it's amazing the memories they will have of you when they're older. My grandparents are all gone now, but the memories are there and I think every child should be able to share in wonderful times with their grandparents... There's nothing like it.
