I was delighted at work last night when my oldest son and his family showed up where I work. I was also fortunate that I was able to take my break right then and join them for supper at McDonald’s. I don’t get to see them nearly often enough. I didn’t give big kisses all around because I’m sick and didn’t want to spread it to them, but it sure was hard to resist!

Son’s wife is due to have a baby in about two weeks. It’s a boy and they are naming him Devon, which I think is a handsome name. They already have other children including a two year old named Kurstian (pronounced “Kirsten), so their life and home are all about baby cribs and diapers right now. It’s fun to watch a young, growing family interact, don’t you think?

Son is a patient but firm father with his children and they listen to him without being fearful of him. I think that speaks well of his parenting skills.

By the way, this will make grandchild #8 for me!
