Riddle: What's Greater than finding out you're having a Grandchild?

FINDING OUT YOU'RE HAVING THREE!!!!

No, Brooke is not having twins or triplets (or at least not to our knowledge right now) - -

MICHELLE IS PREGNANT!!! (not with twins to our knowledge)

ABSOLUTELY NOT TO BE LEFT OUT - Our Icelandic daughter Anna

will deliver probably within the week!

I can't even tell you how excited we are. Wow, everything they say about being a Grandparent is true (and these kids aren't even born yet!) It's a wonderful feeling. Michelle found out today that she is pregnant. She is very excited. We feel like we're having Christmas early with two blessings in such a short period of time. Brooke and Michelle could deliver within a week or so of each other. How cool is that? The thing that really hits me is that they will be "very close" cousins, as both Michelle & Matt were lucky to have growing up with Tony, Casey, Jeff, Molly & Emily. All still remain close to this day, so this is really a neat thing!

and. . . NOT TO BE LEFT OUT - - Our OTHER daughter Anna is going to be delivering any day now with their 2ND child. Wow - - Grandparents x 3. Wow - what a feeling. We're on such a high tonight, it's unbelievable. Michelle & Brooke (early calculations) are due around the end of November. Anna - - well, she's ready to pop, as is Molly (our niece). Molly will go in on Friday, so we all wish her luck. So, Babies popping out all over! Not much else more to say. . . But Steve and I are on cloud NINE and wish all the "Mother's to Be" our best. AND . . don't forget (Jesse, Matt, Brian, & Helgi) - - MOTHER'S DAY IS IN MAY! :)

That's our newest news. I'm sure this blog will be full of additional information . . .I should probably call it (like a soap) AS THE STOMACH GROWS! :)

***Love to all****

PROUD TO ANNOUNCE . . .

STEVE AND TERI ARE GOING TO BE NEW GRANDPARENTS!!!

Brooke and Matt are proud to announce that they are expecting a baby. We are so very excited for them. Due date is around the end of November (we think), but, I'm sure as time goes on, we will be able to give a more definate date.

We wanted to spread the word, as we are so very excited for both of them.

Easter at the Baumann's

We had a wonderful Easter at the Baumann home. Complete with children, dogs, great food, and weather that was like we "special ordered it". Aubrey, Brooklyn, Ethan were there and it was really amazing that the Easter Bunny actually found them there and delivered baskets on Jamie's front door step. Jamie & Jim had quite a crew, but the meal was absolutely delicious. I know Ozzie had a great time with his pals Molly, Max, Sassy & Belle? the Beagle. See pictures below. Hope all of you had a very special Easter.

Girls Gone Wild in Vegas

Rosie, Teri, Vickie & Diane met in Vegas and had a great time! We kept pretty busy between seeing a show (Mama Mia - Great!), walking up and down the strip, gambling, piano bar, shopping, and finding a great Italian restaurant where the "Rat Pack" used to frequent. It was a good bonding time for all. We did alot of laughing and goofing around.

Had a blast with you guys! Maybe we can do it again sometime! Pictures below and video:
