Week four of sabbatical and we arrived in Pure Michigan just in time for the arrival of Charles Gregory Bakos – our first grandchild! This is truly the best gift ever – thank you to Gretchen and Matt for sharing this precious time with us. It was love at first sight and our little Charlie is perfect! We are looking forward to spending the next few weeks on doula duty before heading north and west on the adventure. During our time in Grand Rapids, as Gretchen recovers and Charlie gets into a routine, we plan to explore the area and see what all western Michigan has to offer. While we have spent most of this week just enjoying Charlie and assisting Gretchen, we did get the chance to visit the Gerald Ford museum and the beautiful Helen Devos Children’s Hospital. This is such a special time to witness our little girl become a mom and we can tell already that Gretchen and Matt are going to be awesome parents – Charlie is truly a lucky boy and loved by so many already! Can’t wait to watch him grow!
Join us on our journey - Greg and Linda's Sabbatical!
