“A Tale Of Two Townes”

Posted on January 25, 2013 by russtowne

My wonderful son Brian and delightful DIL Kristi just found out that they are having not one, but TWO, babies!

For those keeping score at home, that’s TWICE the number of grandkids that are now on their way! One each for MY Beloved and me! YIPPEE! We’ll still have to take turns holding our terrific first grandchild Thomas though– but fortunately he too is well worth the wait.

When Brian found out that he was about to become the father of twins, he quipped to Kristi, “The story of your pregnancy could be called, “The Tale Of Two Townes”.

Love,
Russ
