It was difficult getting used to 4 out of 5 of our children living outside Kansas City. But we’re lucky to be able to see them often. Sometimes business takes us to NYC and we can take advantage of seeing Danielle and Brooke then, but Chicago and Columbus, where Andrew and Derek live, are strictly destination cities for us. But what is really tough is not being able to see my grand-daughter Lydia frequently.
I had no idea the joy that a grandchild would bring me. This weekend Derek and Lydia are flying in for a couple of nights. Not nearly enough time, but I’ll take it! I’m picking them up from the airport, probably going to lunch at Winstead’s for a Tiny Tot, and then driving home. Swimming is definitely on the agenda along with toy store shopping, story time at the book store, and seeing friends and family. Lydie loves dancing to Lady Gaga (she’s 2 ½) so we’ll make a video of her dancing to one of the songs. Can’t wait to get my hands on that little thing – oh, and of course, Derek!
