As my last trimester unfolds I am finding that there are more moments that I wish I could share with family and friends who are so far away. They are mostly just the subtle, everyday moments, feeling the baby kick, having an oversized ice cream sundae, taking Bishop to Mount Pisgah, assembling the crib and folding tiny baby clothes.Yesterday, I finally got to share some moments with Dad, who was up here doing business in the Salem area. We got together for a great dinner at the McMenamin's brew pub, followed by the most incredible pumpkin crisp...ala mode, of course! The baby showed off it's kung fu kicks for his Grandpa. Dad shared some family folklore that will no doubt make its way into infammy as the stories are told over and over again for little ones trying to draw out their bed time story hour. I wish that dinner with Dad could have lasted a week, and not just because of the ice cream! There is no replacement for the love and support of family.
It was such a treat to see you Dad! Just think, the next time we see eachother, you will be a Grandpa! Crazy!
Love to you all who are so far away yet in our thoughts every day!
