Babies

We got word that Carrie's other sister, Margaret, and her husband Mike, are having their second baby. It happened like this: We (Carrie, Stephanie, and I) went home to their parents to celebrate several birthdays. Because the family's rather large, and several family members have birthdays within a few weeks of each other, it's just easier to package them up and acknowledge them at the same time. It was a simple lunch and time of hanging out. No big thing, except that at the end of the meal, Claire, Carrie's four-year-old niece, announces "Can I have everybody's tenention? Daddy says I can tell everybody that I'm going to be a big sister."

Very cute, very nice.
