My son Thomas and his wife, Lisa just found out they will be having a baby in early January '08. Here is a picture of them at their wedding in April two years ago:
When the baby is born Thomas will be 26 - the age I was when I had him 26 years ago; I am 52. This is my first grandchild and frankly? I am over the top about it.
There are only two things I have ever done in my life that I think I truly did well and that is raising my two children, Thomas and Katie. Katie graduated from USC Gould School of Law last Sunday, Mother's Day she is 24.
Those of you that have been around here awhile know I am terribly proud of them both and an emotional slob when it comes to them. I apologize for crowing about them but that seems to be applying double for the grandchild and I haven't even seen him/her yet. Hoist one for me when you read this boys. I'm terribly happy about this.
