waiting at the window

David and Erika's house in Arlington Heights has a big picture window looking out to the front. It is very easy to see anyone coming to their front door.

On Saturday for some reason Lucy got it in her mind I was coming to her house that day. David said she spent about 15 minutes standing on the sofa looking out of the window for her "grammy."

Remember the "Homer" shoes that caused Bubba to fall down the stairs when we were last at their house? Well Erika came down in them over the weekend and Lucy said "gran - di - daddy." In her mind those were Bubba's slippers. So "where's granddaddy."

Knowing that a little two year old remembers us and is looking forward to our arrival makes it easier to be so far away.

I don't know little Harry very well yet.....we are just getting ourselves acquainted. I hear he's smiling now and that will be something to see.

Oh, by the way, Erika wore the "Homers" down to the basement and fell up the stairs coming back. Hopefully those slippers will not even appear this time around.

Lucy, keep up your watch.....we'll by driving up to your house very soon. We'll look for you in the window.

Merry Christmas..............it's all joy!!!!
