August 15, 2025 (Part 2): The Special Delivery

The surprise of a lifetime (literally).

Tonight, McKenzie and Will brought dinner over. For reference, anytime someone shows up with food, I’m 100% in.

They arrived carrying two large pizza boxes, and for just the four of us, we had enough for a feast.

Opening one, steam rose from a pepperoni pizza. YUM.

Will pointed to the second box and described it as “special.” I’m thinking, “What? Anchovies?”

But after opening the lid, there was no pizza in sight.

Instead, inside was…

A card… two grandparent books… baby shoes… and ultrasound pictures.

Plot twist.

A split-second later, Jess and I understood. We stood speechless, caught completely off guard.

And then we erupted.

Our first grandchild on the way! The best news ever.

Baby Siebels arrives in late March (or early April) 2026.

I’ll never look at pizza the same again.
