It's a boy


Part II!  Turns out our second son and daughter-in-law are expecting yet again.  And if medical science is right on the nose, we once more have Griffey boy two, of the next generation.  That will be two, count them two, grandsons.  Meanwhile, the current gaggle of Griffey gremlins: 

They have no idea!

Yep, they don't know what's coming their way.  This, for those keeping score, will be three under three.  Woof.  As if two under two just wasn't challenging enough.  Our oldest son was almost three when our next son was born.  He was too young to do much, but he was old enough to do a little.  Truth be told, for only three, he did a good job trying to be that good big brother.  I can still see him trying to push his new brother in one of those baby swings at the park.   

But it was still enough to help.  Our granddaughter is not quite three yet, and won't be until well after our latest edition is due to be born.  So that's going to be a newborn, a toddler barely a year old, and the oldest a little over two and a half.  

That, folks, is why you have kids young.  It takes that much energy and stamina.  At my age, just thinking about it wears me out.  But so far they're doing something right.  Their first two are beautiful kids, even in those terrible twos, and I don't know that I've seen many children in my life more perpetually happy than their daughter.  So right there makes me glad for our latest edition to the Griffey dynasty. Congrats to them.

  2. Congratulations!!! It will be hard for a bit, but a worthwhile investment to have babies so close together! The kids will be happy to be so close later on in life!

    1. Yes, it's rough sometimes when they're young, but as they grow older you see it keeps being rough! But if you play your cards right, you can make sure they have built in their siblings as best friends, no matter where they end up in the world.

    1. Thanks Nate! And yes, it will be interesting to see if any gravitate to any of the little'uns, or if they keep taking the lot as they are.
