Phil and I drove to Tacoma to visit his son, Mike and family yesterday. Phil called, didn't get an answer, so ... left a message to let them know we were coming. They didn't get the message ... and we showed up unannounced, just a few days after they moved back into their big house in University Place, a suburb of Tacoma, WA. Mike, along with help from his brother Rick had repainted every room and ceiling prior to the move and everything is bright and shiny white, awaiting daughter-in-law, Mari's exceptional decorating talents just as soon as her energy is back up to speed. Mari is expecting their long awaited baby girl any day with a C-section scheduled for the 29th of October if she doesn't make the grand entrance on her own before that. The baby is growing fast and the doctor says she'll be close to 10 lbs. by that time. We are very pleased that we will most likely still be in the area to meet our newest grandchild face to face. One of her older brothers, Jeremy who is 13 says he's ready to be a big brother and is taking the job of being her idol very seriously. Her oldest brother, Ray is living in his own apartment and we didn't get to see him or hear his comments about becoming the grown up brother of a tiny baby girl. Daddy, Mike is positive there has never been a child so anticipated and so loved before she is even born. We agree.
