A new life

Last night Tim and I took advantage of the warm evening to take Raven for a stroll. It is nice to see people out chatting to their neighbors, after our cold winter--usually the only time a Minnesotan will see a neighbor in the winter is if you happen to be out starting your cars, scraping your windshields, or shoveling/snowblowing the driveway.

So, we saw a couple who live behind us that we hadn't seen in months. Tim did the drywall finishing on their addition to their home (a whole second story), and we found out what we had missed during the last several months. "If you build it, they will come," Scott joked as he announced that he and his wife were expecting a baby--in addition to their two children, ages 11 and 15. Mel will be 44 before the expected birth in August, but everything is going well and the baby is fine.

I think it's wonderful to hear about experienced parents giving birth to a new little one. I will rejoice with them, as I rejoice as I live through life with three teenagers (and no toddlers).

Till next time,
