My sister and family are spending the night. Back in 2019, Dad and the kids found a salamander on the camp grounds. My nephew was very much into lizards and those kinds of things at the time. So they kept it for my nephew and my sister has been feeding it and taking care of it for all of these years since then. She had to order special worms. She and the kids are here to bury Squirmy in his original homeland.

The kids had their second ultrasound earlier in the week. The news has officially gotten out that they are going to be parents and we are going to be grandparents. I just think it’s the funniest thing to say but I’ve already gotten used to saying it. I am grateful that my childbearing years are over and that instead I get to help the next generation with their children.

They’re supposed to know within a week or two if the baby is a boy or a girl. My guess is girl but I have no reasonings for that to be my guess. Josh ordered a shirt that says Concordia Grandfather from the gift shop. It’s been a month and it hasn’t been mailed yet. We heard about this on Christmas evening when they had known for two days. Compared to the engagement this was an easier secret to hold.
