Grandpa arrived from South Dakota

We're still at home and the baby hasn't yet arrived. All is calm for the moment.

My wife's father arrived in Paris late morning after an overnight flight from Chicago. Our 4 and 2 year olds were happy to see "Bop." I'm also relieved that he made it here (and without my wife going into labor at the same time). He'll provide an on site baby sitter for whenever we need to run to the maternity ward.

We already have 6 confirmations for our son's birthday party next Wednesday. Hopefully my wife will be home from the hospital by then. (The normal stay in France for a regular birth is 4 nights). Otherwise, it will be pretty wild around here.
