We're all super excited for Natalie and Alan(!)

Perhaps surprisingly, I'll be posting “Congratulations on the New Baby” next week, but it won't quite be for Natalie and Alan. My sister Marci is scheduled to deliver baby #2, a girl, a week from today. (Marci and Marty's baby #1 is Anthony's cousin Josh.)

So, we're all super excited for Marci and Marty, too!

Babies everywhere....

Well, Mom and Dad can’t complain about lacking grandchildren anymore. We may have started a bit later then expected, but aside from Anthony (the wise elder cousin), In March they’ll have 5 grandchildren 3 years and under.
Yea Natalie! We’re so happy for you! And it will probably be good for Alan to no longer be the only child in your household! 🙂
