Hello friends! The pregnancy is 28 weeks along.
This past week we traveled to Iowa to visit Brian's Grandmother, his mom and extended family. We are very blessed to have family there who care about us and who are helping us welcome our new bundle of joy!
While in Iowa we had great corn-on-the-cob and enjoyed some A&E milk & cottage cheese and went to the county fair. Brian's grandma told us about the old turn-of-the-twentieth-century phones her grandpa used and got to try Sype internet video chat for the first time. Its really amazing how technology - from phones to ART - has changed our lives in only one generation removed from the farm!
The crocheted sign above the picture of the family farm in Grandma's house says, "Love Hangs Out Here". On the opposite wall there's a chain of baby photos, the grandchildren and great grandchildren. Of the 9 original grandchildren still living, only the eldest (Brian) and the two youngest don't yet have children of their own. So we're very keen to add a new photo to the chain!
WooHoo, good ole' corn on the cob...yummy. I love county fairs!! New England has the best, eh hem...lol...i'm so happy ur sharing your story and happiness with his family, i love that saying she has up. You have come a long way and to see you grow has been a sheer delight for us.
