ds and dil stopped by this afternoon to give me the news...in a fortune cookie....(we have this running joke going with fortune cooies)..anyway...my fortune said " a small person will soon call you Grandma"...on the back it said "Baby", followed by the Chinese symbols for baby which dil looked up on the internet and "Lucky numbers 5/04/2004"..

I was excited, teary, you name it...those of you who have been there can relate!!...wow..now we just pray all goes well..

hugs

Dutch,

Terrific news! I am sooooooo green with envy. Happy for you though. The way they told you is very cute I think.

Congratulations, prayers and positive vibes heading your way.

Hi Dutch!

I haven't been around here much lately, but I am so glad I popped in and saw your news!!! Congratulations!

Also, I'm thinking about you starting off another school year. Our schools opened on August 4 this year! "Summer" has been pared down to about 6 weeks! First HS football games were last night.

Enjoy these last few days AND enjoy the last year of teaching!! What fun waiting for the new grandbaby!

Many hugs,

Sooze

Congratulations Grandma!!! I know exactly how you feel, my 1st one is due early March, 2004 & will be saying the same kinds of prayers this year.

That was such a cool way to give you the news.
