Cardinals Baseball and Jake

Good morning. Jim (my husband) and I went to the Cardinals game with my son, Matt, and Jake last eve. What a beautiful evening (even though they lost!). I'm treasuring all of these last experiences before THE BIG MOVE. It's coming! Each morning I wake up knowing we're one day closer to THE MOVE. I told Matt that he and Jenny are young and could get new kids...so I thought they could just leave Jake and Ellie for us to keep. He chuckled and said he wishes we could "share" - each take a week. I'm up for sharing! Anyway, it was a wonderfully fun evening. We got to spend time with Matt, who we haven't seen much of because he's buried in his studies for the bar exam. That was nice. And, of course, Jake brought fresh eyes to the game of baseball - or should I say to eating peanuts, the family play area, the darkness, and many things we take for granted. I think that's what I'll miss most...seeing the world through the fresh eyes of a child. Let me know how you do this long-distance grandparenting thing well, okay? I need your help. Thanks and have a fun day!
