Just when you assume life is puttering along and you know what's going on, things can change! We celebrated Father's Day a day late here at the resort as Ann and family were gone over the actual day. They brought over a yummy Cyrus O'Leary sour cream lemon pie and Dan's present. It turned out to be a doozy! Inside the card was a note from Ann with hints of his present. Hints like:
It would keep him young
He would treasure it for years to come
It would make him smile
It couldn't be 2-day expressed because it was a custom order
It would stay mostly with Ann and Eric but could come stay at our house anytime
There was more, but in case you haven't guessed, it's a new grandchild!! We are so excited and look forward to meeting our new little man or little miss in January!!
And then, less than two weeks later we received a call from Matt telling us they are moving from Virginia to Colorado!! A two-day drive away in our car, with a stopover at Bruder Bear's house on the way. Wahoo!! After having them so far away for five years, I feel like they're moving next door!
So, excitement is in the air here at the resort. Change. Blessings. We are very thankful all days, but especially so in the last few weeks.

Congratulations on the upcoming grandchild Chris!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if families could all live in the same town like they used to?
Chris, I am catching up ever-so-slowly on blogs since our return.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED our you posted about your new grandbaby. What a blessing!!
And then to hear about their move so much closer to you, you must be grinning from ear to ear.
Congrats dear lady.
And I'm excited for you, too. You and Ann are both so clever. I know you'll fill the months with wonderful preparations. Can hardly wait to see the quilts and bibs and burp cloths. (We do still burp the baby, don't we?)
ReplyDeleteYay! Such excitement for your family!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all! We just had a call from Matt and he has safely arrived in Longmont and will start work tomorrow. Amy and Ryan will drive out in two weeks. Ryan is at a gifted/talented camp at U of VA for ten days and Amy is readying for the movers.
ReplyDeleteKathy, as far as I know, babies still are burped!! Ann makes adorable burp cloths and bibs are my specialty. When we find out boy or girl, I'll start making them and blankets in the appropriate color. We did pick up an adorable kit for a giraffe quilt the other day and it will work for either. Ann will make it.
