THERE ARE SOME REALITIES IN LIFE THAT DON'T STRIKE TO THE FULLEST UNTIL A NEWBORN COMES INTO THE PICTURE...FOR EXAMPLE: HOW MUCH A LITTLE PERSON CAN DOMINATE THE CONVERSATION WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING INTELLIGIBLE, HOW "I'M TIRED" TAKES ON A WHOLE NEW...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...OH, SORRY, DRIFTED OFF THERE FOR A MOMENT!, AND HOW MUCH A GRANDPARENT CAN ABSOLUTELY LOVE A GRANDCHILD AND PUT TO EASE THE ANGST OF NEW PARENTS--ONE OF THE TRUE VALUES OF A GRANDPARENT IS THAT THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH SIMILAR THINGS THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY TACKLING--ONLY, IT HAD TO BE WORSE FOR MY PARENTS BECAUSE IT WAS ME (JESS) THAT THEY HAD TO DEAL WITH--IN HIND SIGHT, I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING MOM!!! WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE HAD GRANDPA & NANNA (SP?) FOX AND PAPA AND GRANNY SCHWARZ COME TO VISIT. WE FOUND MOST REFRESHING THEIR QUIET CONFIDENCE IN OUR ABILITY AND GODS SOVEREIGNTY IN GIVING US LITTLE SAVANNAH. A COUPLE THINGS THAT WE LEARNED: WHEN GIVING A BATH, DON'T TRUST THE "WARM WATER" SENSOR ON THE INFANT BATH TUB UNLESS YOU WANT TO REALLY PISS OFF A 1 WEEK OLD KID! THE GENUSES (YES, GENUSES) THAT CREATED THIS WATER TORTURE DEVISE WOULD RATHER HAVE YOUR KID JOIN THE POLAR BEAR SWIM CLUB THAN STAY WARM AT BATH TIME--WE SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED GRANDPA & NANNA FOX ON THIS ONE!
THEIR JOY FOR THE MOMENT AND LOVING SUPPORT OF US WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO THANK THEM AND OUR LORD FOR HIS GRACE TO US THROUGH OUR PARENTS.
THANK YOU GRANDPA & NANNA FOX AND PAPA & GRANNY SCHWARZ.
