Happy New Year! Steve and I are ready for 2008! This past year has been a year of many heartaches and losses for our family and we are looking forward to a new fresh year to experience all that our Lord has planned for us and our "dear ones."Right now Judy is in Germany with Chris, Mindy and Luke awaiting the arrival of our second grandchild. The actual due date was yesterday, January 17, however, our newest "dear one" is not quite ready to enter our world yet! Judy arrived in Germany last Saturday morning with her brother, Brian. It was a long 8 hour plane ride but well worth it when she saw her precious grandson, Luke David (19 months old) at the Frankfurt airport to greet her! Of course, it was also good to see our son, Christopher and sweet wife, Mindy! Judy came to stay for 4 weeks to help Chris and Mindy with Luke and the new baby.
We've had a wonderful week together so far. Just to be with Luke and hear him call me "me-me" has been so sweet- I just love him sooo much and cherish every moment- Every day he does something new- Being a grandma rocks! It's also pretty cool to talk with Steve every day via web cam although I will be very happy to see him here in Germany in person in 3 weeks. I've even listened to Randy live on Froggy 99.9. Also want to send a "shout out" to my other sweet daughter-in-law Jamie ( who I really miss too)
The one difficulty I am experiencing is adapting to the time change. I'm having trouble sleeping at night. During the daytime I seem to be fine, but when bedtime comes its very tough to get to sleep.. My mind just won't slow down- which usually is not a problem for me! Oh well, hopefully I will get used to it!
Since this is my first attempt at blogging, I'll try not to get too wordy - I'm sure there will be plenty to share in the days ahead, I promise! What I really want to share is the news that our baby will soon be here- you can be sure Mindy wants that news more than anyone!
