Funny Dad's

Let me start by saying my dad and father-in-law have probably been then the most vocal (in a good way) as we wait for Baby "E".  While everyone else; family, friends and strangers have been nothing but supportive in asking how things are going, if we need anything and praying for us these two guys have given me/us input almost constantly.

My dad, who lives locally tells me weekly, sometimes daily, baby items that are either on sale or about some product that he has seen on tv that I should purchase.  He'll tell me that this "item" will make my life so much easier.  He says he knows this because they didn't have this "item" when either myself or my brother were that age.  He also gives me advise on what to do and definitely what not to do!

I can't begin to tell you how many times he has told me that Fred and I are "not allowed" to buy a Tricycle as this is something he is going to buy.  He wants Baby "E" to know this is coming from him.  Not sure why it's so important, but ok.  :-)  He has also told me that he plans on seeing his grandchild weekly and attending all events, whatever that might be.

Then you have the whole naming the baby .....  He has figured out at least 10 different ways to tell me that if it is a boy that a good, strong name would be..... Robert Dean.  Yep, that's his name.  But, don't you worry, he's given me his fare share of girl names that he likes as well.  It's quite funny.

Then you have Fred's dad.  Fred's parents live out of state, but we talk to them weekly.  Every week he'll ask Fred if there's any BIG news.  Of course not .... do they really think we wouldn't call and tell them if something happened!  We'll be screaming it from every mountain top (ok - hills since it's Tx), texting, emailing and making phone calls.

Anyway, last weekend he asked Fred "how much longer he was going to have to wait until we made him a Grandpa"?!  He said he's tired of waiting!  How awesome is that.

These two guys, are so funny and cute.  I love hearing how excited they are in becoming Grandpa's.  It brings such joy to my heart.  This will be my dad's 1st grandchild and my father-in-law's 5th.

I can't wait until Baby "E" is actually here and I get to introduce our baby to these two men.  What stories and love they both have to give this baby.  I'm not sure who will have more fun the baby or the Grandpa's.  You can bet there will be lots of pictures and video.  :-)
