Tunnel Vision

Grandma and Granddaddy Roe special ordered a nine-foot nylon tunnel for the boy’s birthday. A similar tunnel had been a favorite toy of mommy and Aunt Susan’s. The big blue toy was an immediate hit with the boys, and they attacked it with glee. Seeing them play brought back vivid memories of one year ago today. Sandy was very uncomfortable all day. In retrospect she now realizes she was in labor. Finally we agreed to go to the hospital about 10:00 p.m. Because she was five weeks early, her doctor wanted to stop the labor to allow the babies to grow more before birth, but the boys were having none of that. After fighting with them all night long, everyone agreed to deliver the boys the next morning. The blanket and Cookie Monster came later.
