We Are Celebrating!

We haven't had much in the way of sinful breakfasts lately - we really are trying to trim down a tad. But on the morning after My Beloved's younger daughter announces that she will be having her first baby in 2014, we felt we just had to celebrate such momentous news.

Although we knew that Katie and Andre were contemplating parenthood, we didn't realize they were actively working on it, so this news came as a delightful surprise. I don't cry easily but tears welled in my eyes at the news, and My Beloved was stunned speechless. 

We already have two grands, and they truly are grand, but another brand new member of the family is always a thrill.  My Beloved's daughter is feeling well and she and her husband are excited about the prospect, so all is right in our world.  For our previous two grands, we celebrated with champagne but I can recommend waffles with real maple syrup, clementines, bacon, and creamy coffee, too.
