Christmas this year was fun as #2 and his Lady Love are expecting our first grandchild in March, a boy. The due date is the day before my birthday, but the mother of my grandson is such a tiny thing herself it won't surprise us if she delivers a little bit early to make it easier on her.
On top of that, #1 and his Lady Love announced that they are also expecting. She isn't sure exactly how far along she is as she hasn't seen a doctor yet, but the estimates that she is approximately 10-12 weeks along. Their insurance kicks in after January 1, so she will go to a doctor then to get checked out and see if she can get a better fix on her due date.
#3 in the meantime is involved in a welding program through the local community college which will give him an Associates in Technological Sciences and provide him with all the educational classes to meet the requirements of a journeyman. He is trying to find a part time job as a welder apprentice now so he can be set up for success when he graduates.
How blessed are we with all of this?
Best. Christmas. Ever.
