A new baby???

The most exciting news of last week is that we have a new granddaughter. This is especially "exciting" because we didn't know she was coming. At all... Last Friday evening (April 23) Becky and Shanan called us on Skype. When the picture came on the computer there was Becky in a hospital bed holding a newborn. What!!!!???????!!!!!!! Becky was pregnant!!!????????

It really still hasn't completely registered. We have always wanted our children to be close and a support to each other. We rejoice that they are friends and that they enjoy each other's company and love each others children.....We didn't expect them to gang up on us! Wow! I told them that I wasn't sure whether to be mad or really really impressed that they were able to pull it off. Becky said, "for the record, Jannie was against it" So, Jannie was trying to look out for her mother, but being the good sister she is she kept quiet with the rest of them. I was cheated out months of good worrying! And the anticipation. Becky says that even if we were mad it's still a good story. (We weren't really mad, just boggled) Yes, she's right. It's a good story and we've had some great reactions here as we've told it. Usually the reaction is something like: well, they're obviously your kids, what did you expect.

Welcome little Hailey, we can't wait to meet you! Thankfully, Becky, Shanan and Hailey are coming to visit in about 6 weeks!
