Good Morning Little Man,
It's a cold 47 deg's today. This is the coolest day so far and just 2 days ago it was 85 and we had to run the AC.
I worked on getting all the video camera gear ready for your big entrance. I also found a copy of the theme song from the Indiana Jones movies. Like the start of every great adventure there is a theme song and I will play this one when you get cut free. The Ladies at the birth center have no idea what we're bringing. We are just gonna move in and take the place over!
Oh I almost forgot about the "Circumcision". To do it or not?? I don't really have much to say about this because it's your Momma's decision, but I thought I'd post this video of a real Circumcision surgery so you know what's up with that. WARNING!
Keep grow'n little man and I'll see ya in a few days.
Love,
Poppy
Adventure is MY name!! I AM EMMETT!!

19 Days to go and the "Packing" begins
Good morning young grandson,
Today we are all free to take an unexpected day to ourselves. We are spending the morning together cracking coconuts, drinking coffee, eating breakfast, and listening to some James Taylor. The Mullet fish were here visiting today. We are keeping an eye out for our dolphin friend.
You are big enough inside Momma that you could come any day now. We wonder how long you will take. Your Momma says you are a little more active and you have turned over pointing in the right direction to enter the world.
Today we are packing a bag for the trip to the birth center. Clothes, cameras, laptop, movies, books, etc. We don't want to forget the cameras for sure!
We use a sport video camera when we travel on the Motorcycles. We think these would work great because you will be born under water in a big tub. They call this "water birth". These camreas are small, waterproof and take HD, or High Definition, video. I asked the girls if they wanted me to bring them to film the birth. At first we thought that might be a little too gross for everyone but after some more thought we might film it anyways. I can attach them to the tub, counter, wrist, ankle, or even strap it on the midwifes head. They are water proof so we can film you as you swim to freedom. Truth is, I don't think I want to see all that but you might want to later.
Grandma got to help with her first water birth yesterday. She got a call about 3am and rushed in to the Birth Center to assist the "Midwife" deliver a little girl. She really likes this job and is very excited about your arrival. The midwife is going to be there during your birth as a backup but she will let your Momma and Grandma do everything on their own. I will be standing by with the video camera and "Leatherman" ready to film your arrival and cut the cord.
I think I will play the Indiana Jones Theme music when I cut the cord. I have been thinking about a fitting tune for this moment and I think this is it. There is a new show on TV about a missing TV host that does nature shows. His character is super passionate about everything he does and it's funny his name is Emmett. I wonder where your life will go and what you will be passionate about? Whatever it is we will add it here.
Last minute shopping on the Internet today to get a few items a baby and Momma need.
Your Momma and I will hang the last of the pictures in your room. The room is pretty cool but I think you and I will have to change a few things as you get older. We will find out what you like and fix it when your ready.
See ya soon!

21 Days
Good afternoon Grandson,
Sunny and 82 today. Some Weather report for the second week in February.
Stopped by the place where you will enter the world today. Your Grandma works there. She had a tail light broken on her motorcycle so I stopped in at her work to change it out before it gets dark. She likes her new job and is very excited about learning new things and helping people. She has been working there for 2 days.
When I got home I found your Momma in her usual spot. She does a lot of reading and planning for you. We went to get a Cheese Steak from a local place called "Pete's". The best in town so far.
Your Great Grandpa is home now. He had his cancer removed a few months ago and had to go back the Seattle and have some things put back where they belong. This required surgery. He should be back to normal in a few weeks and we are all very happy for him.
Your Uncle Virgel also had some surgery last week and all worked out well for him also.
Looking forward to meeting you in just a few weeks!
Love,
Poppy

26 days to go! Meet "Captain Jack"
Good Morning Grandson,
Last night I had a run in with the local Dolphin pack while I was Kayaking. They freaked me out because I was in open water at night alone. They are very fast and very curious.
This Morning, when we were making breakfast, one of them came to see us. What a wonderful event! Where else can you get a Dolphin in your back yard?
Enjoy...

Holy Crap! only 27 days to go
Grandson,
Really sorry I've missed the last couple weeks.
Momma - She is pretty big now and I don't mean that in a bad way. She is taking good care of herself and is almost all ready for you. This weekend she is getting some pictures taken by a professional Photographer so you can see what you looked like just before you popped out. Your bedroom is ready and we only need to get a couple things, like diapers.
Grandma - she is a little stressed out and doing all she can to help your Momma stay cool. She spends her days riding her bike, shopping online for furniture, and taking care of us.
Me - I am almost finished training at work and will be thankful when it's over. My stress level is getting higher the closer we get to your arrival. I Kayak about an hour a day around the canals. I went out tonight at sunset and was out after dark. On my way home I was ATTACKED by a Trio of Dolphins!! Black night, middle of the river, alone. Those things are bigger then you think. One came within 3 feet of me and looked at me with his one eye. Spooky how they look at you and I have to confess it really freaked me out.
Hurry and get here so we can go have some fun. I think I can duck tape your car seat on my kayak.
I Love you Emmett,
Poppy
