After a long day of travelling, Keith and Josh arrived safely at the B&B. They were mighty excited to meet the little one, but also very tired from travelling. Who can blame them? It did not take long until Grandpa Keith whipped out the gift bag and he had gone all in on Edmonton Oilers merchandise! Keith is dead set on making Ethan a fan of The Oilers, so he had bought everything under the sun with an Oilers logo on it. To top it off and to even out the balance between Canada and Sweden he also bought a Toronto Maple Leafs Mats Sundin bobbing head hockey player! (That's a mouth full!)
I am very much looking forward to when Ethan is a little bit older and understands the game of ice hockey. I will do my best to make sure he is rooting for Sweden in those gnarly matches where Sweden is always sweeping the floor with the Canadians. :) Keith also bought Ethan a ton of toys for when he is a bit older, which I am sure he will enjoy. I sure will.
Keith had also ordered some fantastic pieces of custom made jewelry, rings and a pendant, for Josh, Shaena and Ethan (and I will take care of Ethan's ring until he is 16 years old) made out of old family gold and jewels with a great sentimental value and all of their birthstones were incorporated in the jewelry. A wonderful thought and definitely a heirloom for the future! Keith also showed us his newly made tattoo with ‘the fighting Irish’ and Shaena’s, Ethan’s Josh’s and Ryan’s names around it. Very nice!
The last couple of things in Grandpa's suitcase were photo albums and pictures from when Shaena and Josh were babies so that we can see who Ethan looks like the most. Will definitely have to study those carefully.
Thank you for everything Keith!
After dinner Shaena and I took the guys out for a quick walk to our place and for a quick pint in the local waterhole before tucking them in so that they could sleep off the jetlag.
