They are back to thinking they should now move closer to Austin's recruiting office. They had given up on that idea and he had decided to just stay in their house here in town close to us, but now he feels he should live closer to his office with Melissa being pregnant and the new baby due in July.
Melissa quit her job about a month ago in order to stay home with the boys. So this news didn't come as a complete shock to me. Especially after they laid eyes on their beautiful baby niece, Riley, after she was born in May. I could see the look in their eyes then that they wanted one, too. But Melissa just signed up for the Air Force Reserves. Since she was already in the Air Force about five years ago, she's now in the reserves as a photographer, which is what she started out in. She signed up for the reserves, though, before she was pregnant and this is her first weekend of training. She will be gone one weekend a month. So we'll see what happens. I have nothing against her being in the reserves at all, but see what I mean about just adding to the chaos?
I'm getting better at telling myself it's their life and that's my constant mantra right now. I just keep busy with my own life and hobbies and I'll help whenever I can. I certainly can't take on their hectic lives.
One thing I know for sure, My Bob and I can't wait to hold another new baby that just amazes us with the love we feel for them.
Speaking of beautiful grandchildren that we love, here is the most recent picture of Riley in her high chair for the first time.
Is she a princess or what?

How exciting! A new baby is a true gift from God and a blessing.
Congrats Grandma!!! :)
Congratulations, Nina. I know you will be so thrilled to hold this new baby but I can sure see why you wonder how they will manage. With a lot of humor and your help, I imagine. A new baby will bring trials and tribulations, but that's just the way life is. Thanks for sharing.
I have one married daughter and two grandsons (I also have 2 single daughters) and I need to know how to disengage?
I needed to read your post.
I liked what you said about it not being your life, helping when you can, and staying busy with your own activities.
Great advice.

She is a beauty! Congrats on the new one. Babies truly are a gift from God.
I just held the baby shower today for our future grandson. It sounds funny saying grandson after four girls!
That does sound hectic, being in the reserves, pregnant and two little ones at home! Oh my!
Oh wow! I think there's always room for another blessing. Wishing all the best for your whole family as they await another bundle of joy. Your little princess is the cutest ever!!
Congratulations to you and your family! God will take care of the chaos!
Hi Nina:
Congratulations on the new baby your family is expecting. How wonderful for all of you.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. You're so right that we have a lot in common. I'll be back to read your older posts and get to know you better. Stop by any time. I'll keep the kettle on for you! ;-)
Blessings,
