I love you all!
Happy Birthday Matthew!!
What are you doing to celebrate?

A grandma

I wish Daniel had a Grandma here. It is really a shame that now families are so spread out that grandparents live so far from their grandchildren. If Janis' parents were living that would make a difference. In Latvia it seems likes grandparents are very involved. Very often they all live in one house. Our neighbors are like that, there are 4 generations living in one house. That sure comes in handy when one needs babysitters.
I have been wishing we had a grandma here. Someone who could go on walks with Daniel now and then, and teach him. Of course a grandpa would be nice too, so they could do all kinds of boy things.
So anyway I wish we had a grandma. . .
