You my Dear Boy are Grandma's pride and joy! I was very lucky and got to be in the room when you were born. It does not get any better than that! I was at your house in Iowa City to take care of the doggies while your Mommy and Daddy went to the Hospital to get you. Mommy worked so very hard and Daddy did too. It was early in October. I was so glad I got to drive to the Hospital that day and got there just in time to help tell your Mommy she COULD do it, because she was so very worn out trying to get you that she was giving up. Your Daddy did everything in his power to help, but there was only so much he could do and he was getting real tired too. They had been working all night to have you. Finally when I told your Mommy she could do it, she got super strength and went back to work. Your Daddy helped her with a strong voice and finally you were born. You looked like you had been in a fight, but the nurses took you out and cleaned you up and when they brought you back in, you looked so good! You were so special and I stayed a few days before I had to come home to see Grandpa Larry again. We were not able to visit you as much as I would have liked until you all moved closer to us. We helped to care for you when you all moved. You and Alvin came home with me and stayed for a couple of days while Mommy and Daddy got things moved in and then we all went back to see your new home in Omaha. Now Mommy is almost done with Law School and soon you will be moving again. It will be a good move because you will get to have a lawn again. I will add more to this later. Love you
Grandma Kate

I apologize for not keeping up my writing to you and also to Tyler D. Time rushes by and I get busy with other things. I have never been real good about consistency. Big word means getting done what I want to every day.
You dear boy are so precious to this Grandma. I never thought far enough into the future to think about having Grandchildren. Ever since I found out you were coming, Life changed for the better. Your Mommy and Daddy gave Grandpa and me a present gift wrapped one day when they were here visiting. I wondered what was going on, but opened it anyway. I barely got the unwrapping started when I saw the baby bottle peeking out at me. I did not even finish opening the present, I just gave it to Grandpa Larry to finish opening. He did not get what was going on until he had the wrapper off and looked at me, then at Lacey, then at me again. Wha? was the look. I shouted, They are going to have a baby~!!!!!!" They then told us that you were going to be here around the end of November. We figured you might make it for Thanksgiving. You decided to wait until December however, and that was alright. No sense getting in too big a hurry. You were born in the afternoon, but Mommy and Daddy did not call us until later in the day. They said, "You have a Grandson, would you like to come and meet him?" We were there in less than 30 minutes and that was quick for us. I did not even take time to bathe before we headed to Lake City. When we got there your other Grandma Ann was holding you. She came over and put you into my arms soon after we arrived. Grandpa Larry was not going to hold you, but we did not give him any choice. You were put in his arms and it was serious Love right away. You were his boy from that day. It has been that way since and you are 2 years old now. I just wanted to catch up with you a bit and tell you how much we all Love you. You are a wonderful Grandson and bring us such joy every day, even on the days when we do not see you in person. You are always in our thoughts. I will end this for now and will continue it later.
Hugs n Kisses from Grandma Kate and Grandpa Larry
