I received the most exciting gift this Christmas. My son handed me a very small green gift bag when all the family was gathered together on Christmas Eve. It contained a photo. The tiny photo was an ultrasound of my new grandchild to be born in mid-July. I was thrilled, quite overwhelmed, and cried a lot of tears of happiness, right along with everyone else. Mike and Michelle live in Boulder, Colorado and I already have at least two trips planned this year since receiving this amazing news. It’s a long way from Chicago, but since I’m now “retired” we will be able to travel without encumbrances. It will be a truly blessed year. We are ALL SO EXCITED about this new life. He/she is SO welcome to our family.
Now it’s time for a trip to the specialty shops and find some wonderful, unique, special, amazing, tiny, perfect gifts to put in the mail for this baby. Mike and Michelle are beaming and I am going to have some really fun months ahead of me.
ALL of the Grandchildren!!
Thanks for always coming back to be a part of my world. Amities, Averyclaire
