Best to you Ken. Thanks for sharing this beautiful news. You are blessed.
My wife also looks at these posts ( Niles West has no such thing ) She made me chuckle when she said, "Your classmate Ken is a prolific poster now. With a grand baby, look out !" Your excitement is only surpassed by the realization of grandchildren being recognized as little blessings and miracles. Good for you Ken. Oh the stories that child will hear!!!!! And teach that child about those insane bugs and creepy crawly creatures you have shared pics of!!!
My wife and I started a fam quite late ( medical issues ) so we accept that grandbabies will also be delayed. Kids, for me.......My youngest is 15 ( son ) and oldest 26 ( daughter ) . She is still single ( loving it ) and right now not even thinking about kids. She has a terrific job and career and makes serious coin so she is living large and traveling like crazy. Even with C19, she is managing careful trips. This summer she will spend another summer in Alaska. And my son, well, as a typical 15 year old boy and phenominal athlete, he is so not interested in girls at this time unless they can advance his sports career. I have told him one day girls may dominate your thinking!!!! So between the two of these wonderful children, grandbabies and not on our horizon anytime soon. And I and my wife are okay with that.
My job and career path for the past 35+ years has me traveling 75%+ of the time. I do plan to slow it down and retire soon but between that, a lake home up north where we spend allot of time and a home on the beach in New Smyrna Beach and some killer hobbies, selfishly, I am glad babies are being postponed. Only so many hours in the day. We look forward to that day, but for now, cool.
Enjoy Ken....and thanks for sharing such wonderful news . Especially at a time when we all need some. God bless you Ken.
From sunny warm Florida as I type............Happy New Year all. Ed
