It's a great day!

We are the proudest grandparents in the world!! Is this not the greatest smile, it warms our hearts. I realize that all grandparents feel the same way, but I can't help but be a little prideful. Kai looks just like his mommy and has the cutest little nose. Grandma and Grandpa finally mailed off goodies boxes and had so much fun shopping. Although Grandpa gladly paid for everything, and Grandma went crazy shopping, Grandpa did pick out Kai's snowsuit. Grandpa was so proud of himself, it was he that choose all our children's first snowsuits, so it was only right that he choose Kai's. We have been busy shopping for a crib when Katie, Jyri, and Kai come for Christmas. Poor Grandpa keeps shaking his head as we stop to look for a highchair, car seat, stroller, safety gate, bouncy chair , and ever so much more. Family is doing well, Trisha is teaching herself the flute and playing tuba in the Community Band, through UAA. Erin and Kyle are busting their bottoms to get A's on all their tests. We have not seen any snow as of yet, but some super winds that lasted 3 days, so strong, we thought we were back in Kansas! There is the cutest video on Katie's and Jyri's blog ...The Koivisto Perhe... the song is very cute, unfortunately we don't understand it but we almost have it memorized, the video is the best, and I watch it daily! It's fun to read the experiences Katie and Jyri are having as new parents. Grandpa and I find ourselves remembering and sharing with the very same experiences we had with our children when they were babies. Good memories and now new ones to make, how blessed are we.
