Gramma and Papa Arrive!

Gramma and Papa got in last night to stay with the kids when we head to the hospital tomorrow and the kids have been in heaven since the moment they arrived. This morning Gramma surprised us with some super aprons - its her tradition to make an apron for the kids at home and bake cookies while mom's having the baby. These monkey ones are perfect for my wild bunch.

As soon as Gramma gave Nora the aprons, she was ready to play with them. She wanted to be a monkey and have somebody be a monkey trainer.  She started calling out, "Who wants to be the monkey trainer?" No one was giving her much of a response, so she took the big apron and started to put it over Papa's head saying, "I'm going to put one on this old guy."

Branden said," Nora! That's kind of rude, honey." Nora was duly chastised and got a repentant look on her face. Then she came over behind Branden and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry Dad... But he IS a grandpa."

And here is me the day before Vienna comes. Branden keeps telling me I don't look as big as I did with Nora or Ike, but I certainly don't FEEL any smaller!
