We’ve been given the go-ahead today to announce to all our friends and family some incredibly big news. Carrie-Anne and I are thrilled to let you know that our little middle, Valerie, and her wonderful husband, David, are expecting. And we’re not talking about just one grandchild. No, that would be too easy for our free-spirited, unpredictable, anything-goes daughter. They’re having twins!
We are beside ourselves with joy and gratitude. And we really don’t know how to act yet. We’re gushing with anticipation and almost giddy with excitement. The babies — it sounds so weird to talk about this with plural pronouns — are coming late June or early July. From chromosome counts and blood work, we know that one of them is a boy and the other one could be a girl. The only certain is that they are not both girls. And we can’t wait.
Please join us in celebrating with Valerie and David and our family, in thanking God for this shocking and beautiful blessing, and in asking him to protect these four in the coming weeks and months. 
And, when Whitney tells you the news, act like you didn’t already know.
Peace,
Granddad (?)
Congrats grandpa!
