Speaking of Daring Adventures…

Posted on April 26, 2012 by russtowne

Our eldest son and his wife are expecting their first child. I believe that having a baby is one of the greatest and most daring adventures of all. Their son’s due date is TODAY. It will be my wife’s and my first grandchild. To say that we’re waiting anxiously for THE phone call would be a gross understatement (though we know we could be waiting for quite awhile, perhaps days longer).

About russtowne

I'm awed by the beauty of nature and the power of love and gratitude. Some of my favorite sensory experiences include waves crashing on rocky shores, waterways in ancient redwood and fern-filled forests, and rain. My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of approximately 60 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children.

Good luck, Russ! You both will be awesome grandparents! BTW, I really enjoyed the movie and popcorn Saturday night.
