Announcement from David and Kerry

The kitchen of 810 Grant Street has always held a special place in my heart.  One of the recent happy memories in that kitchen happened in March 2011.  My mom was set to provide dinner that night at Grandma’s—she planned Papa Murphy’s pizza, but we also brought along some bottles of bubbly (sparkling juice that is) for a special announcement. The smile on her face when we told Grandma she would see another great-grand baby in 6 more months will never be forgot.  Grandma was the first outside the immediate family to know about Kerry’s pregnancy. 

AJ (or OJ as Grandma liked to sometimes call him) was born and had the pleasure of being held by Great-Grandma many times.  Sometimes, she wouldn’t even let him go.  J

That night at Grandma’s prompted another dinner.  This time, though, it was with my parents.  The dinner was last month in the beginning of December.  Under the disguise of celebrating “quitting from MTM,”  I told my parents Kerry and I wanted to bring up Papa Murphy’s pizza to celebrate.  We also brought up pictures of AJ – most of them were ones we took for our Christmas cards – however, when my Dad got to the back of the stack, he found this one:

Then this one:

Needless to say, the traditional pizza dinner carried on even if it was not at 810 Grant Street.

Well – as Kerry leaves the first trimester – we pondered how we wanted to let people know.  I then thought of this blog Kim started and thought it was only fitting that the kitchen of 810 Grant Street be the first (outside the immediate family) to find out about the newest great-grand baby in the Landwehr clan!  Kerry’s due date is July 20^th. 

Combine this great news with putting our house on the market, moving to a new city and starting a new  job … I know there is a candle burning above for us!
