I have some exciting news to share! Son #1 and his lovely wife, are expecting a baby girl in November. This will be our first grand baby, you may know how this feels, unbelievable!
The fun part, at least for me, is that it’s a GIRL. I get to think pink for the first time. We have 2 sons and I loved raising boys. They have been eye opening to an only child (moi) and perfectly delightful, although I will admit, sometimes living with 3 men (hubby made 3) I felt outnumbered.
Now I get to think about dress-up trunks, Fancy Nancy books (I hear little girls love this book!), tea parties and Little Mermaid.
You can buy this book on Amazon, which is why there is a “Look Inside” on the top.
The other fun part is that I’m already thinking of how we can carve out a little space for this grand baby and hopefully future grand babies. I want to pull down the children books (currently stored in the attic) and set up a bookshelf with all of the books and toys I saved. Girls don’t mind playing with trains, do they?

I can pull out the Beatrix Potter china that Son #1 used as a child. This will be so much fun! {smile, sigh}

Now if only I can figure out a way to buy an extra house in Austin, Texas (which is where they live) or buy a plane so I can fly between California and Texas quickly and easily! {smile}
Okay, any of you readers that are grandmas, please give me a clue…I’m going to need some guidance here.

Karen, yes girls love trains. Little Gabby took Percy to school to share! I hope all your dreams come true. Linda Wilson
Linda,
Good to know—we have a Brio and an LGB train, not to mention loads of Leggos and Fisher Price farm animals. The good news is, I can look forward to playing baby dolls with her someday! I’ll be leaning on you and Carla for input and guidance.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’ve been checking your blog for the last few days and thought something was wrong with my links, and now I know Son #1 wasn’t just doing maintenance on your blog – he’s had a few other things on his mind!
This is so great, please pass on my well wishes.
Will do. Yes, my site has been through a few mis-wiring issues but Son #1 promises all will be well soon. As far as the other news…excitement doesn’t begin to describe how Mr. B and I are feeling about being grandparents.
I’ll pass your good wishes along.
Karen
