Time with Allison....

I'm not going to lie, I really, really, really enjoy having John & Allison so close!!  Two (2) hrs is not far at all when you consider it was 18 hrs before!!  We have been down several times, but have tried to wait for the invitation......and thankfully the kids have wanted us to come!!

Last Friday, Allison called and asked if we wanted to come visit because John had an away football game and when he has an away game it is usually 1:00 am (Sat morning) before he gets home.  So Alan, Aileen and I headed to Tyler to spend time with Allison.  We enjoyed talking with her.  We talked about everything from politics, to babies, to t.v. shows and still could have talked through the night.  It's fun to watch Allison and Alan talk, they say daughters have a special attachment/bond with their fathers and they do!  And of course Aileen always loves seeing her sister.

The next day I wrote on paper in big letters YES/NO and asked Aileen some questions and here are her answers that she pointed to:

Do you like that John and Allison live close by?  Yes

Is Allison having a baby?  Yes

Is it a boy?  No

Is it a girl?  Yes

Are you excited to be an Aunt?  Yes

I think that says it all!!  We are excited and happy to be close by!
