James Tennyson Crouch was born on October 2, 2011 at 10:50pm. He weighed 8lbs even and measured 21 in. long. Danny and I are overjoyed!
He is named after Danny’s dad, James Crouch (1945 – 2008), but he’ll go by Tennyson. Danny’s dad was named after a great missionary and writer, James Hudson Taylor. The name James will remind our son of his late grandfather, also a great missionary, teacher and leader. James Crouch gave up his life in order to find it in Christ. He found it in the lives of missionary and Nigerian children, teacher colleagues and local churches in Nigeria, where he lived and served his entire life. We give James Tennyson up to Christ and pray that he too will find his life in Christ.
Tennyson is a literary name we liked for it’s British roots, which is where he began 
. Here are a few of our favorite quotes from the British Poet Laureate Lord Alfred Tennyson:
“More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.”
“My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure.”
Thank you for your love, care and prayers as we’ve welcomed Tennyson into our lives. We are eager to introduce him to our friends and family.
Oh so adorable! What a sweet blessing you have. Keep the pictures coming. I hope you are doing well mama!
