It finally happened. We decided to use a shopping card we got for Christmas to get the mattress for Miaya's crib. While in line to check out, a lady behind us asked "Are you new grandparents?" We knew it would happen, but hoped it would be a little later. Really, we understand, and actually thought it was rather amusing. In fact, we are thinking about getting hats or buttons or t-shirts to remove the doubt without any embarrassment on anyone's part. We gently explained that no, we were actually adopting from China. She thought that was very neat thing to do. (So do we!)
We've joked about the advantages of being older parents, in a few years we can save money at the movies, "that'll be one senior, one regular and one child's ticket please". And there's always the early bird supper specials! So I guess there's a bright side to the age thing!
