I'm Going to be a Grand-WHAT?!

Sooo yeah, there are some things you don't necessarily expect to experience when you're 36. I'm already dealing with one of them - arthritis in my back - but that's about it.  That is, until recently, when Heidi and I found out that we're going to be - gasp! - grandparents.

Our Kelsey is going to have her first child next summer. We were surprised, slightly freaked out, and a little worried, as parents sometimes are when they find out their "baby" is going to have a baby of her own. But we are also very happy for her because she is happy, and we know she's going to be a wonderful mom. And I for one am super excited about having a baby in my life again! I loved those snuggly baby days with Anna and I am sure I will love snuggling with my grandbaby.

Here's the latest from the mouth of our precious and precocious preschooler:

• Anna (as I pick her up from day care): "Can I please have a baby sister?"  Me: "Umm, no, honey, these things are really complicated."  Anna: "But I promise to take good care of it!" ...and I'm sure "it" would be fortunate. But I don't see that happening!
