The good news just keeps rolling in. Our next big news is we are going to be Grandparents in May! Amanda and Ryan are expecting, and everyone is so excited. It will be the first grandbaby on both sides of the family, which is so special to share the joy with the Klassen's. The baby will have a big world of admirers to choose from. Of course baby will be adorable, just look at how adorable the parents are. We wonder if the baby will have dark hair, big eyebrows, hazel/ green or blue eyes. What a fun time of life. I really have to stop myself from going on a crazed buying spree and grabbing everything that is way too cute for words. I have only bought one sweet sleeper, and starting to collect fabric for crib sheets and have a quilt on the go...that isn't too bad.
I must say I am nervous about being a grandma. I am not exactly running to hold other peoples babies. Not that I don't like babies, just from afar. And usually when I am around babies it is at a baby shower with a gazillion people looking on, yikes! But I have always been that way, even as a young mom. Of course I love my own kids, thot they were and still are beautiful, and didn't worry about being spit up on and such. I even liked a few other kids that I had at my house and felt fine with caring for them. Those kids are still among my favorites, and hold special memories of those times.
Gerry is a natural with kids, they automatically like him, perhaps it is not having a fear of looking silly that kids appreciate. I think everyone has a different way of relating to kids and it all works out fine in the end. So here we go, entering another new and exciting stage of life.
