Mama Talk about Grandma Billings

Aug 22, 2007 09:41

Counting our blessings up to 100I don’t know what I was expecting when our family took a trip to Auburn, Calif., for my great-grandmother’s 100th birthday. Perhaps I thought we’d make an appearance but not stay long. For one thing, I was very concerned about 20-month-old Benjamin trashing her assisted living apartment ( Read more... )

really? wow! it seems like the ones i struggle with writing seem to get the best reactions ...

i was having trouble wrapping it up without it being too hokey or cheesy. i guess i must have done OK if i made you cry

OH WAIT, NEVERMIND, YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!

making you cry is probably not that hard. ;-)

This crying business is so incredibly new and strange for me. I used to be quite stoic, but it is a touching story! And I miss my family in MN - sniff sniff.

what brought you out to seattle? (if you don't mind my asking)

and seriously, crying while pregnant is to be expected. once, at work, this old rude guy told me i was so big i looked like a baby whale and i cried for like HOURS!!!!!

So glad your trip went well. Actually, Auburn is the closest "big town" to Cool, where we live. If you ever need anything taken to/checked on for your great grandmonther, please let me know!

Also, wanted to let you know Elias is all breast now (with the exception of bottles during the night -- by choice, not necessity!) Gabriel is getting closer each day! :-)

WOW! that is amazing about your twins and even more amazing that you would make such a generous offer to someone you don't even know!

I've been meaning to write you, as I have done a little more research on twins and have a few tips I thought might be helpful, but haven't gotten around to it. I'm lame, I know. I'll send them along later today, K?
