A growing family

In case anyone forgot, I have two grown stepsons. When I got started with this family in 1992, one was wearing Power Ranger undies and the other was still in diapers.

Times have changed.

We just got back from visiting my older stepson and his wife in Oklahoma. This is what they've got going on:

Which means I will be a (youngish) grandmother in April!

And the younger of the two boys and his girlfriend recently got a puppy. Here they are, just moments after getting the dog. She is reading a love note he had written her, he is playing with the dog.

But wait, what's he doing now, on one knee?

Super smooth, am I right?

She said yes.

You'll see wedding photos shortly after July 5.

******

After those bits of news, the rest all seems anticlimactic but I'll throw it in anyway, as follows:

Lily, Lily, Lily:

A sleep sack I made for a friend's baby, by modifying a cardigan pattern:

And a turkey in the kitchen, checking on the hard cider fermenting in the background.

What, you've never had a turkey in your kitchen?

You have no idea what you're missing.

Yeah, that was a pretty smooth proposal, and quite a lovely ring. Congratulations all around!

Congratulations on both fronts! Very exciting and yes a super smooth proposal. Cool baby sack- should be interesting how the fit is.

Congratulations! At first, I thought "1992? That was only 10 years ago!" but ten I remembered how math and the passage of time work.

Congratulations! How exciting for all of you!

Grandma Jessie! HA! and Ethan getting married Wow, congrats. Talk to you soon, xojill

Congratulations on both events! I had a sneaking suspicion about a grandbaby when I noticed all your baby items on my Ravelry "Friends' activity" page.
Please tell us the turkey didn't end up in the oven on Thanksgiving!

Well, yes, I've had a turkey in my kitchen, but not the kind that can talk back.
Congratulations on all the upcoming family celebrations!

Oh, I've had turkeys in my kitchen... just not any walking around!

Congrats on all the good news.

Growing family indeed. What wonderful news. Neither of my daughters who are involved with young men are engaged let alone married with children so no Grandmas here. I do, however, have a grandpuppy. He's adorable but I'm looking forward to the kind of Grand- that doesn't shed quite so much.

Awww.... Congratulations all around! A baby! A wedding! You're going to have such a fun year.

Jessie- Congratulations. You will be a hip grandmother.

I have had a turkey in the kitchen, only it has never walked around.

Posted by: Lorraine | November 26, 2012 at 07:07 PM

Woohoo! Bigtime family events! You must have a great big perma-smile at this point.
I have to admit all the turkeys I've had in my kitchen were the non-ambulatory type. Though I've several times ended up with a kitchen-chicken, living in a cardboard box while we treated it for some malady or another...

I've missed reading your blog lately since I lost all of my links a while back. I guess I should check a little more carefully before I ever click delete. Anyway, you're fun, as usual. What fun pics of your kids and, of course, the turkey pic was priceless.
