Proud parents soon to be....?

Rusty and Diana Bird are two very proud parents. They will be attending a very special reception this evening hosted by their son Greg's army post at a reception hall somewhere in the Sharonville area. The purpose is to say good-bye for a short while (50 weeks) to their troops including Greg who will be leaving tomorrow morning for Afghanistan.

Greg and his wife Lindsey live in Louisville Kentucky and have just told Rusty and Diana the great news...They are going to be grandparents. That's right Lindsey is pregnant and due in April 18th 2009. Greg may not be home at that time unless the army gives him a special leave to come home for the birth of his first child.

Let's hope and pray that the army gives Greg a week or so to come home for that. In the mean time Rusty and Diana are on cloud nine. Rusty says "I'm ready to be a grandpa...I can't wait".

Greg has been following BlueStone Ivory for many years. He and Lindsey always enjoy coming out to hear his dad play, especially during the summer...they like to come to the outdoor concerts and church festivals.

Here is what we need from everyone. Take a moment today and say a prayer... God, watch over Greg to have a safe trip and journey in "Your Speed" to come home to his loving wife Lindsey, his new baby, his loving mom and dad Diana & Rusty, his two sisters Laura and Kristine. Please God watch over Greg and grant our prayers. Amen

You can send a special greeting directly to Rusty at Rusty@BlueStoneIvory.com. He will pass on any messages to Greg and his family.

What exciting news for all the Bird family! I know it's a sad time to see Greg leave the "nest" but with all of us praying for a safe return, time will go by quickly and soon you'll all be reunited and there will be a "new" baby Bird to celebrate with. I can't express how happy I am for the family. And I know that Rusty will keep us up to date on Greg and Lindsey. Carol
