Special Delivery

Today is our middle son's 25th Birthday, and no better time than to announce that he and his wife are expecting a baby!!  The baby is due 1-7-2017- our first grandchild!! WOW.
They gave us the news in a very surprising way on Mother's Day.  This poem captures the awesome way they broke the news to us:

Surprise Gift

It was the day before Mother's Day 2016,
I was quite unsuspecting, if you know what I mean,
A small box appeared on the living room floor,
It had a balloon tied to it, but could there be more?
The whole family awaited; the excitement, it grew,
The tiny square box was something big, but who really knew?
So I untied the ribbon and opened the lid,
The note inside gave directions, which I promptly did,
It said, "Pop the balloon with this safety pin",
Which revealed another note hidden within,
That was the surprise, with what it did say,
As I read aloud, "Happy Grandmother's Day"!
My mouth flew open; I was really in shock,
As the screams from another (Danielle) could be heard down the block,
It's true, it's true; it really IS true,
We are going to have a grandchild, now that's something new!
