OT: It will be a girl this time

Chris and Ayako called. Our soon to be grandbaby is a GIRL. Her name will be Nanami Jeanne and her arrival is Dec.1st (or there about) . Nanami (Na na mee) is Japanese for seven seas and Jeanne is my grandmother Gabrielle's and my middle name. Aya really wanted a baby girl this time and is so so very happy.

I will probably be able to have my GB before I go to Wa in Nov. Kaito is anxious to start kindergarten and Rikuto is being tested for language delays and autism SD. So far he has 2 therapists going to the house

1/Wk. I have assured Aya that things will be alright and that she is to be congratulated in taking a proactive stance. I feel she is a good DDIL and I hope her mother is watching the amazing woman she has become. It is also good that I have my EA(educational advocate) and TOCS(teaching organizational + coping skills) training.

Had a wonderful 4th of July in DC and got to give Eva her first Ice cream cone (Chocolate of course). She has just turned 1 yo. It was good to seek Erick and Irene. Erick is in his last year of his residency as a peds neurologist and is beginning to consider his options for the year after. Chapel Hill, Nashville, and Chicago are his options if he does a fellowship in peds sleep studies. Otherwise he will look for a place to setup practice which could mean a return to the NH area or Chapel Hill (Irene's mother is there).

Sarah and John have not set a wedding date YET. They are too busy working and she won't let me plan it. So I wait. and stitch and knit.

I miss being more active here but as you see life gets in the way! LOL

AWesome news!. I remeber her telling em she wanted a girl the last tiem I saw her. I'm very happy for her.

Early intervention always works the best. I'm glad she's being proactive, instead of waiting and worrying. She's doing a great job!

Chocolate is a great choice and good luck to Erik. That has got to be a tough descision to make.

Let them do it in their own time. I know when Mike and I were planning ours, we wanted to keep everything simple and got really irritated with the constant when is it going to be. Everyone was trying to make it into something we didn't want. We ended up with it not being what we wanted at all. I recommend letting them be. Let them come to you when they are ready for advice and help. Enjoy your knitting and sticthing. I've been so busy I haven't touched anything this month. I'm planning on stitching this weekend, and I'm really looking forward to it.

On the marriage thing. My first wedding was in a tiny old episcopal church in Mass...my parents (none of the grooms side) attended along with my colleagues from the hospital, and Paul's Navy friends. .The nuns at the lab couldn't come, so we visited them..

When I remarried , as a widow, we invited two couples we had known for years(never knew were not legally wed) and they were with us at the Courthouse for a very strange ceremony. An American Indian prayer was read by the JP, our Jewish friend had a glass wrapped in a towel for Jim to stomp on. Just perfect for us. That evening we called family and said "we did it".,

Mike and Aya were married at the Prefecture in Japan. No-one with them, but totally legal.

So...to sum up...nothing really matters about the pomp and circumstance, as long as the youngsters are committed and happy with their choice

I have to admit, Bobbie, I do envy you your American/Japanese grandchildren. However Mike and Aya are now in their 40s, and seem very happy with the way they have made their different interests meld.

My goodness I have rambled on.

Every happiness to the new arrival. Such a shame our sons never met at Atsugi.

Now that Chris and Aya are at Whidbey Island, they have ran into all kind of friends from Atsugi and the USS Reagan is do in Bremerton for an overhaul after this cruise. Ayako has found many Japanese wives there including a next door neighbor. She does miss summers though and threatens to descend upon me next year.

Chris still has 8 more years before retirement and there is still the chance he could get station at Jax eventually. You never know that they won't meet. After all, we got to meet.
