I usually delete bad photos, but not this one, a precious memory taken by my son-in-law. That's me, my eldest and C in a moving truck, in our first serious attempt at clearing out our house in anticipation of downsizing. They thankfully took their bedroom set, the piano, plus 20 boxes of stuff belonging to her and her sister. It's unfortunate that my new camera decided to bite the dust at the precise moment my son-in-law held it up and said…

"Say Elina's pregnant!"

If that darned lemon of a camera had let him snap again, E says it would have recorded that my head nearly banged into the ceiling of the truck while I was jumping up and down. I never thought that would have been my reaction, but it was truly a joyful moment.

Oh yes, they took the baby furniture, too. And, no, despite the bunny hats of my last post, it's a spring (early March) baby, but not twins. And the camera is going back. I need something more reliable.

Whoo-hoo! Moving on to the next stage of life… how did it happen so quickly? And I am no spring chickie, being of mature age when I had that child, my first, and now she's following suit. Funny thing about life.

    Congratulations! Such happy news. You can certainly see it on your faces – blurry or not. And just think, that blurry picture will have a story of its own to tell.

    I don’t know what is more exciting… a new grandchild on the way OR the fact that the kids are taking their stuff out of the house. I have a whole garage of furniture in waiting along with a leather couch in waiting for the next move our of the house. My boys are back home but with more things! Oy! Congrats to all on the spring baby blooming!

    Many blessings and we look forward to lots of baby updates. I won’t be jealous because my daughter is only 18, but a baby sounds great.
