The first of the next generation in the Tomkinson family
should be here by Christmas!
Kate and Jeremy got tired of Christmas shopping and decided to take the easy way out this year. Baby Gottwood is scheduled to arrive Christmas Eve. Kate is feeling pretty crappy and worn out but I'll let her fill in the details. Of course the future Grandma is pretty excited and has already purchased her grandchild some books. It won't be too long before we know if it will be a boy or a girl. So far the pool has Kate betting it will be a boy and Jeremy and I betting on a girl. No real preferences just a feeling.
Alan,John,Kate, Jeremy and I will be in Monroe for Uncle Dale's wedding on June 12. There is a lunch after the wedding. Hopefully, we can get the Tomkinson/Oothoudt crew together for either dinner Saturday and/or breakfast on Sunday. Kate flies back to California on Sunday and Jeremy is going to Chicago to visit friends. On Thursday Kate will fly to Chicago and Alan and I will drive in and meet them at the hotel. On Friday Kate graduates. Next Kate and Jeremy are flying to DC to spend a few days his family and celebrate his Dad's retirement. Later in the week they will fly to Michigan to spend some time with us. Whew!
I asked Kate if it was okay to make the announcement on the blog and she said, "That's basically telling Uncle Lee". Where is everyone else? Kate, Lee and I are lonely and really boring. Outside of the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT the most exciting events have been Kate's stumbling onto a Post It Note sale, Lee staying upright on his bike, and me staying up past 9:00 pm.
Now that it is almost 9:30 I need to sign off and retire for the evening.
Goodnight! Take care and keep safe.

ReplyDeleteExciting news for sure. Congratulations to Kate, Jeremy, the grandmas and grandpas, and aunts and uncles. I can't wait to teach the little rascal the right way to ride a bike! LOL Um, they do come with helmets, don't they? Looking forward to more news.
ReplyDeleteLee - not sure about the helmet - we'll have to check with the doctor - but given that its our kid a helmet would probably be a good idea :)
