Anxiously Awaiting Tuesday November 4th

I am anxious for the big event--the hype--the revelation. I am anxious for the buildup the weeks before--the anxious hours and moments on the last day. November 4th. It will be a nailbiter. It has been a long time coming. Seems like years but it has really only been since February that the major players were announced. November 4th is Mary's due date for those twins!

We don't know their names yet. One boy. One girl. With a possibility of an election day birthday, how about Sarah Jo and John Barach? I don't think that will fly.

Today we are going to a barbeque/shower hosted by friends and Mike's aunt and mom for the babies.
This is what I put on our gift:

Little A and Little B
Welcome kids to the family.
Mike & Mary thought they’d be 3
Adding one bambino to the family tree.

What a surprise when the Dr. said “two”
We’ve watched mom’s tummy as you grew and grew
I’ve seen you on ultrasound, it’s twins –it’s true
Election Day, November 4th, is when you‘re due.

Daddy and mommy are preparing the way
To welcome you here on your birthday
The nursery is painted, the layette put away
A safe delivery –the grandparents will pray.
