Baby proofing the house of 3 teenaged Oompas and 3 adults has proven to be a bigger task than we thought. Our intentions were good, but it can't be done. We just have way too much junk and stuff and ran out of hiding places for them a long time ago. We shall no doubt be on our toes constantly while the Grand-Oompas are here with us.
I leave for Ohio in a couple of hours. A few hours after that I shall be hugging and squeezing Grand babies! I cannot adequately express the excitement I am feeling right now.
Or the fear.
What if they don't like me? What if I scare them with my big eyes and fluffy, squishy hugs?
I can't believe it. I've been waiting for this moment for almost 3 years and now that it is nearly upon me I am nervous. Not of the flight or traveling alone. Not of the family (I've met the older sister and adored her). I am nervous of meeting the little guys. Unbelievable! And its not because two of them are mini-oompas, although that fact is more than enough reason to be nervous of them. No, its more like jumping into the middle of the game and being afraid of not fitting in and screwing up the team.
Ahhhh well, I'll just cross that bridge if and when I get to it. In the mean time I have to get ready. I have some Grand-Oompas to hug and squeeze!

Never can you screw up a team when you love them so much! You just keep that love flowing and it will flow right back to you from those grandbabies. I am excited for you. I have only one grandchild and he is the most absolute love of my life. CAUTION! DO NOT KIDNAP THEM! It will be hard not to do. hehe Just enjoy yourself. I'm truly very, very happy for you!
Have a wonderful trip :) Don't worry about the little Oompas---I have a feeling that they will just fall in love with you at first sight. :) Julie
Have a safe and lovely trip!!! Thinking they won't like you .. oh phooey (sp?) who wouldn't love you!!
Hold them tight and love them as I KNOW they will instantly love you!
I got rid of so much junk when I moved (thinking I was going to AZ) I had a garage sale... which I wasn't much a part of... although it cleaned my way to this move there are many things I wouldn't have gotten rid of had I known I was only moving 45 miles away lol.
Love,
Promise
