I think by now the entire world knows that Katie is pregnant! Well, of course not the entire world, but a good portion of it thanks to my big mouth. I have told everyone, even "before" Katie was pregnant that it was going to be a boy, I just knew! And sure enough, as the tiny fingers above indicates, "you got it right Gramma"! Katie's defination of the ultra sound picture is a little different as in, her little baby boy is shooting her, poking her as he continues to bump around in her belly! In one of Riley's ultra sound pictures she has only ONE finger up in the air, and you guessed it, "that" finger!
Technology just amazes me, the detail of the 3-D ultra sound images that technology is able to do these days. All of his tiny back bones, the little heart beating, toes, fingers and all the other things you pray to see. And for that, believe me, we are ever so thankful and blessed!! With all that said, before long you know it, you will see little grandson chasing "Gramma's Girls" around and torturing them just as Bryce did to his sisters. Or should I say, STILL does to his sisters! And as almost everyone in our family said, we need more boys!!
Since we are on the subject of family, I am so excited that the new TV series "Parenthood" begins tonight!! I can't even put into words how much I loved the movie, Parenthood, back in the 1980's. I thought if ever a movie was made that portrayed what families are REALLY like, it was Parenthood! I also really like Peter Krause who is featured in the this new show. I fell in love with him on Six Feet Under. I can't wait to see the show to pick out all of the set props that came from Country Roads. This show has a really cool set designer that bought lots of things from our store for Parenthood. She also has great taste in what she purchased! I already have my DVD set, can't wait. With all that said, you have to know you will continue to see more and more "photos" of my soon to be grandson!
I LOVE the new tv series Parenthood. I loved the movie, which by the way, Ron Howard directed way back in 1989! Has it been that long? I think what I like best about this new show is it shows us all that life & families aren't perfect. If you think your family is "perfect", well, all I can say is "bless your little heart". My family is very close, and far from perfect. Guess that is why I love this new tv show so much. It kind of shows us what life and family is all about!
So, with all my ramblings about this new tv show, you can imagine my excitement awhile back when the set designer (yep, I forgot her name, Janice?)started shopping in our store awhile ago for this new series. Well, that "logo" on the truck above was back again yesterday to pick up a bunch of stuff they bought again for the show.
The bigger stuff like cabinets and cupboards are much easier to pick out while watching Parenthood. And the set designer is the easiest person to work with and that makes all the above mean so much more to us here at Country Roads.
There were bags of stuff all over the store filled with "smalls". It's hard when you are watching the tv show to pick out stuff that came from Country Roads. The set designer told us that a lot of the stuff from our store is in the parents house on the show. I sat in bed last night (I record the episodes) starring at the kitchen shelves in a scene in the parents kitchen looking for stuff that came from "the store".
As I said, there was stuff for Parenthood EVERYWHERE in the store. Including behind the counter!
So, with the truck packed up as it leaves our driveway, I'm really hoping Parenthood will be around on tv for awhile. You know how that goes, you fall in love with a show on tv and then all of a sudden it's cancelled! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one!
