FAMILY. BABIES. MUSIC.
A LOT OF FUN THINGS GOING ON LATELY IN AND AROUND FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND.
WE HAD A REALLY LOVELY, SHORT VISIT WITH OUR SON, WHO FLEW IN FROM VANCOUVER SO HE COULD PICK UP HIS ‘NEW VAN’ TO DRIVE IT HOME TO HIS GROWING FAMILY OF FIVE. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO BE WITH TWO OF MY FAVOURITE ‘DADS’ THIS WEEKEND AND WE WERE SO RELIEVED WHEN JARED CONTACTED US 16 HOURS LATER TO SAY HE WAS HOME SAFELY. PHEW!
WE CAN NOW REVEAL THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE GRANDPARENTS AGAIN THIS FALL ! OUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, JENNY, IS ALMOST OVER THE PHYSICAL DISTRESS STEMMING FROM HER HYPEREMESIS PREGNANCY (SO MUCH ILLNESS AND BEDREST NEEDED AND 2 CHILDREN UNDER 5 AND OUR SON WORKING FROM HOME IN A SMALL APARTMENT!) TOUGH TIMES. WE CAN’T WAIT TO MEET OUR 6TH WEE ONE.
AND MUSIC! I CAN’T BELIEVE I AM WORKING ON MY 7TH SONG SINCE COMING HOME. THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TIME THAT IS INSPIRING THE MUSIC TO FLOW. PARTLY IT IS BECAUSE I AM FORCED TO STAY HOME..HA HA. BUT THIS GIVES ONE TIME TO REFLECT AND TIME TO REHEARSE. IT IS A BLESSING FOR SURE.
