My next grandbaby is a ...

Last Friday Brianna, Patrick, and James learned the gender of the baby scheduled to join the family in October. And the baby is...

Yes, it's a boy! Another grandson for this grandma!

For quite some time I was pretty positive Brianna would be having a girl. But another boy comes as no surprise as he will be the fourth blood grandson, fifth grandson including bonus grand James! No girls yet.

And I'm okay with that. As my grandma friend Joyce said, when it comes to little boys, I "good at loving them and playing with them and knowing how they think!"

Plus, as the seemingly trite but so incredibly true statement goes, the gender doesn't really matter, as long as it's healthy!
