Grandparent

It may come as a shock to everyone but we are going to be grandparents for the first time. We received a package in the mail from David and Kathryn and they had written on the outside, "open together". We couldn't figure out what it was. It wasn't close to either birthday so why would they send us some thing when we were probably getting together in a few weeks.

As we unwrapped the gift it was clear that it was a picture frame. We figured it must be some funny picture they took of us in Monterey but still didn't know why it couldn't wait. When we got thru all the foo foo stuff (colored wrapping paper) the picture said "Photo of Baby Ricks coming Fall 2009".

Kathy started crying and I averted my eyes so nobody suspected me of doing anything unmanly.

We are going to be grandparents for the first time sometime around Halloween. The significance of this can only be felt by those whose life's are limited. One more requested event to be checked off this year. Now, if Matthew will please get his Eagle this summer that could be two things.........

  1. Kathy and Ray: I am so excited about your news of becoming granparents! Being a grandparent is a wonderful role in life. I am thrilled to hear your news. Congratulations to the lucky grandparents, uncles, and parents. Love you, Kim
    P.S. Any guesses as to whether you'll be holding your current Ricks' pattern of boys or if a little girl will break the holding pattern??
