Thursday, January 7th, Been bursting to tell!!!

We got some great news at Thanksgiving!! After gathering at the table, the head of the household traditionally gives thanks for the meal and for our time together.
David said, "Uncle Chuck, I'll pray for the meal".
Chuck responded by saying "no I'll pray", In other words, "It's my house, kid, it's my job",
David, "No, I'd like to to it."
Chuck: "Ummmmm".
Beryl: "Just let David pray"
Chuck: "Alright"....big uncomfortable pause

So we all bow our heads, David starts thanking God for the meal, our family, (at which point, I get all teary because I always miss Mom especially at holidays) how good He has been to us in the past year and he ends the meal by thanking God for their baby that is coming in June!!!
At which point, Beryl is cheering (their whole family already knew), and I am sobbing as are the grandparents. Liz was pretty nauseous the whole time they were at our house, but she is so excited.
David is going to be the greatest dad.

So cool, a baby!!! I am going to be a great aunt and my sister.....my older sister is going to be a grandma!!! I can't wait to love on this baby!
The reason I can tell now is because David announced it on FB a couple of days ago, which I guess makes it official!
