As some of you know, our son Max, his wife Leslie and her mother Jo, came to visit for the Christmas holiday... that was a gift in itself. They arrived on the 23rd after an 8 hour drive and amazingly Max and Leslie were able to keep a very big surprise to themselves - not even slipping and telling Jo.
The surprise - we are going to be Grandparents this summer!!!!!
After the initial jolt, I looked at Sam and smiled... somehow I knew it. A few months ago, Sam brought up the subject with Max and at that time he said they had nothing to announce. But, I became curious. Curious about his choice of words. And, the detective-mom in me began to chew on those words. A few weeks before the holiday, I told Sam that I thought we were going to get T-Shirts for Christmas that said, "I'm going to be a Grandparent" or something of that nature. He told me I was crazy. Well, he's kind of right... I am a little crazy... but, I'm also happy that I was right about my hunch!
In addition to this wonderful news, Sam had another visit with his E/N/T, Dr. Celin, who said that he doesn't see any evidence of disease. Also, Sam gained another pound from his last visit. With all the holiday goodies, I probably gained three since his last visit, but who's counting.
We are looking forward to the coming year and the promise of a new life. God is good, indeed!
We hope that your year will be full of blessed surprises.
Happy New Year,
Maddy and Sam

Hi Maddy and Sam:
I looked for you at church today. (I haven't been there in a while). I wanted to give you both a big congratultions Granny and Gramps (j/k) hug. So glad to hear about the good doc treatment and the gaining of a pound. I ask God to bless you both this coming year, and may it continue to be filled with goodly news.
Gloria
Thanks for sharing your good news on the medical and family fronts. I can only imagine the gratitude you're feeling for the healing God has brought to Sam in spite of the extreme difficulties of those months of treatment. How wonderful to look forward to your new roles as grandparents with much love and wisdom to impart to your new family member. Congratulations!
