I gave up waiting for spring. I'm waiting for other things now.
Tomorrow we head south to Indy to see my middle son Tim and grandkids Lucas (8) and Lilly (6). It's got to be warmer there at least, right? We're celebrating Easter with them this weekend. I think we'll dye eggs, have an Easter egg hunt, and dabble in books and writing in our WNs together. I also found out I can go shopping with Lilly and Dad to get Lilly a dress for the Father/Daughter Dance in April. With 3 sons and 3 grandsons, this is truly a treat.
My husband and I are also waiting for a new grandchild to be born the first of April. "It could come earlier," I say. Ben and Amanda have the 2 other boys, Noah (6) and James (4). Amanda has chosen not to know the sex of the baby this time. I like that idea. I asked if the baby's room was ready and Ben said he and Noah put the baby bed together again and James measured everything in the baby's room. Everything was 80 feet long! This weekend, they paint.
Lastly, I'm just waiting for the month of April. The spring date of March 20 arrived. Hopefully, April will confirm it.
In the meantime, Sunny will do right now. I've been waiting to bring him out!

Meantime you've got the warmth. Thank you for a personable journal write.
ReplyDeleteEverything in me begins to wait for spring...and I'm in California!
Remembering the midwestern winters...with mixed feelings.
I love the suspense of discovering who/what "sunny" is...What a fun, light post. I love the idea of Grandma shopping with son and granddaughter for the perfect Easter dress. What a treat!
ReplyDeleteI really smiled when I read the line, "...James measured everything in the baby's room. Everything was 80 feet long!" How funny! :) As always, I love the voice in your writing! :)
Enjoy this weekend, hope the snow by-passes Indy. Sounds like you've got lots of plans through the end of the month. I see lots of slices with the kids in your future.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice weekend. We are headed to Indy on Sunday to visit friends. They told me it might snow. Yes, snow, let's hope they are wrong (even though I like snow...I am just ready for spring to be here). I bet it is fun having a granddaughter...and I wonder if being the only girl (for now) that she might be a bit spoiled. Jackie http://familytrove.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteTime with family trumps waiting for spring, I think. Congrats on all those grandchildren. They must bring joy into your life.
ReplyDeleteSunny looks like a charming stand in for Spring! And congratulations on the new grandchild-on -the-way!
ReplyDeleteSunny made me smile. :) I know you are going to have a great weekend. I can't wait to read about it!
ReplyDeleteYour first two lines cracked me up...as did Sunny. You have lots of great things to look forward to. Have a wonderful weekend...you'll have lots of material for slices!
ReplyDeleteYou have a rich family life and your humor is fun. Thanks for the fun post and pictures. Spring will come!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very exciting time coming, grandkids galore-congratulations to you for the coming arrival, Tam. I like your little "Sunny".
ReplyDeleteI love sunny. He has to bring a smile to your face each time you see him. Hope your shopping trip was successful. Sounds like fun.
