Just got the news from daughter Kate. I'm going to be a grandma! She and Greg are over the moon. Baby due end of February-March (they'll find out more when she goes for the blood test next week). Congratulations to the Mama- and Daddy-to-be!I told Kate that I'd wait until she gave me the go-ahead to make the announcement, thinking they might want to keep it to themselves for a bit. But she said there wasn't any way she could keep that secret, so I was free to let the world know.
And thanks to Blogger, Facebook, and Twitter, I'm doing just that. Ooh, Grandma! What a big mouth you have!

ReplyDeleteThat's great..Congratulations. They are great to spoil and buy neat things for. Then their parents try to deal with them . I agree William David for a boy and Mary Cynthia for a girl.

ReplyDeleteOh and congratulations to daughter and son-in-law too!
P.S. I bought Golden Girls series 1 on dvd and even now it's whizzing its way to me. I shall blame you if I don't enjoy it!
Jay - great suggestions, although Cindy's name really is just Cindy, not Cynthia. I'll pass along the idea to the glowing couple.

ReplyDeleteHey Mary, I am Susie Moore Gravitt's little sister Anne (remember me?). She introduced me to your blog, which I thoroughly enjoy. Our first grandchild, an adorable boy named Jesse Ace Hendrix, was born two months ago. Being a grandma rocks!
