Sunday afternoon we got a phone call from our "almost" three year old grandaughter in Colorado, relaying the wonderful news that "A brand new baby was inside her mommy's tummy". Her 18 month old sister chimed in with similar news......both adorable little girls. The oldest girl thinks it will be another sister, which is what she'd like.....but then again, "it could be a brudder" which will mean all new baby clothes for Grandma to buy, while I've been having so much fun with the girlie duds.

Baby number three is due on Halloween. What fun. We will then have six "6" grandchildren to love and enjoy.

Just happy happy news for us and our entire family who all agree that babies and children are indeed a blessing.

Of course, this will now mean FOUR OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS and TWO APRIL BIRTHDAYS FOR THE GRANDKIDS TOTAL.

Couldn't resist sharing the news. It's what keeps us "young at heart" and in spirit and mind.

Naturally, they always want to do "facetime" / skype......modern generation of "little ones".

Their slightly older Vermont cousins of 9, 12 and 20 are obviously going to be very very excited to welcome the new addition. Maybe someday, we will even have a great grandchild........

We love every single one of them, but there is only one grandson in a bunch of wonderful girls..........perhaps our Halloween surprise will be a second boy baby...........we'll just have to wait and see what the stork brings.

Just had to share this wonderful news which is bringing us so much joy today. After an early winter filled with the "flu bug" /pneumonia for their entire family, followed by a great vacation to the African Safari theme park at Disney in Orlando, it's just all "good". Both of our adult kids/spouses/grandchildren have promised to visit us often in Florida....

Congrats on the new pending addition to your ever growing family. I was a Halloween Baby and was named Jack which was a family name. I got a kick out of telling everyone I was named after a Pumpkin, "Jack O Lantern "

Growing up as a Halloween baby was so much fun with a preprogramed party every year.

Anyway, all the best to you and your family in the future.
