At The Drop of a Hat

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.  I'm standin' here outside my door!"  When the phone call comes, I am on my way to Washington, DC to meet my new grandson.  Trouble is, I haven't gotten the call yet and I have found that I am much more anxious and time is moving much slower than it did when I was having my own children.  Seems I'm not a good waiter!

So much has been going through my mind since we found out in May that "Buster" was going to join our family.  I simply cannot wait to snuggle a little baby neck again and kiss soft, quiet cheeks.  I do rocking really well and my gentle lullabies will still convince a small child to fall gently to sleep.  What wishes and hopes I have for that tiny little boy.

But, as Ellen says, he's still cooking and right now he holds all the cards.  His birth day will be decided by him.  But does he understand how excited this whole family is to take him in our arms and welcome him into the family?  Maybe he does and that's why he's taking his time.  Stay tuned!!!
