Mimi and Ga's Surprise :)

Mama has discovered that there are two moments in life that she cherishes as the top of the "favorites" list. These moments include introducing a new grandbaby to Mimi and Ga for the very first time (beyond words...priceless...there's something about handing a next generation of a family to the core of that family...but I digress) and sharing the news with Mimi and Ga about a new grandbaby on the way. I have now had the beautiful fortune of having to surprise them with this news three times and this third time was as much a charm as the first two :)
Mimi and Ga came to visit in Raleigh to celebrate your big brother Benjamin's 5th birthday and the very next day, when you were 7 WEEKS OLD :) quite coincidentally, after the boys had gone to bed, Papa and Mama took the opportunity of a quiet moment with Mimi and Ga to give Ga one of his Christmas presents that we had not shipped to MI. He knew this was coming so there was so surprise or anything that raised any eyebrows in wonder. :)
After he opened his gift, Mama and Papa gave Mimi a card and said it was one more small Christmas gift we had purchased; just something little.
Inside was a card that read "May all your Christmas dreams come true" and stuffed in the card were two Lucky 7 Lottery Tickets.
Mama said, "We thought with all of these grandkids that you and Dad could use a lucky lottery ticket. AND....#7 is my lucky number so I thought it was particularly appropriate for your lucky 7th grandchild. :)
Ga burst out laughing with a huge smile on his face and only moments later when the words sunk in did Mimi start dancing around. Mimi and Ga never fail to disappoint when they get the news of another grandbaby on the way :) They are as excited to meet you as we are little one!

And you will forever be their true Lucky #7!!!

PS. This was the fun way we shared the news with your aunts and uncles. Note those cute little feet by the arrow?! :)
