New Grandchild on the Way!

United States
April 22, 2017 11:03pm CST
I've mentioned it here and there but haven't made the big announcement actually. My youngest son, James and his wife are expecting a baby in September! James was born late into our marriage, after our children were all teenagers. So it's natural that he is now just beginning a family. But as with James, I'll be starting all over with grandchildren this time instead of children! My four grandchildren are all grown up or nearly so. They will be 20, 20, 18 and 16 when their little cousin is born. So I'll be busy this summer crocheting a blanket and knitting some outfits. I can't wait to get settled to begin!

As grandparents we dote on our grandchildren (I have 10). I think as we grow older and mellow in our ways, we begin to fully appreciate what joy children are. I can relate to your anticipation in holding your new grandchild in your arms.

That's one of the big reasons for the resettling in Ohio. But I must have my winters elsewhere!

@Jeanniemaries Knitting is more a winter hobby, but I am sure you will like to make the blanket.

Congratulations! This is news that regardless how big our families are, we never ever grow tired of hearing isn't it? I wish the couple health and happiness until the birth, and then wish that for all 3 of them.
