congratulations!

I got news that three of my family members were pregnant! Ryan & Lindsey are expecting (Ryan is my cousin on my dad's side of the family), Stan & Taniya are expecting (Stan is Simon's brother), and Tony & Anita are expecting (Tony is Simon's cousin)!! I am so excited to have some new babies in the family to take pictures of.

We happened to be staying with Stan & Taniya this past weekend up in Chicago. I shot a wedding on Saturday in Chi-Town, so we went for a long weekend to hang out. We took my in-laws too! Five minutes after we arrived, Stan handed his mom a gift. She read the card first and had a somewhat puzzled look on her face. I asked to read the card. It was a "congratulations" card, and they had written inside, "Now we have a new Colts fan!" I immediately blurted out, "You're PREGNANT!!" Still a little confused, Gladys open the gift bag, and inside were two Colts onesies. She was so excited that she sat the onsies on a burning incense and went and hugged Taniya! Luckily Simon had an eye on the onesies that were about to burn! So after waiting and begging for a grandchild, Gladys and Cecil will finally be grandparents sometime near the end of the year, or the beginning of next year. We are excited to have a little one around! Until now it has been all about the dogs...Guploo and Peyton. Guploo is an adorable little puggle, and Peyton loves her cousin oh so much. They spent some quality time together this weekend!

Here's the handsome, Mr. Guploo!

Stan, Taniya and their baby! Well, I guess he'll be a big brother now!

Here's Ryan and Lindsey. Simon shot these at Pound the Pavement a couple of weekends ago!


CONGRATULATIONS!

I heard the news too from my mom! That is awesome. Congrats to Stan and Taniya. If I am not mistaken, another one of our "cousins" is pregnant. I won't blurt it out here, but it's exciting news!

Ryan & Linds were going to overnight something special to us to let us know that we were going to be grandparents...but they couldn't wait. They called us on Thursday evening and we eventually had a 3-way call with Cori in Texas, Ryan in Kentucky and us in Florida. Cell phones are wonderful!! We did receive our gift on Monday...it was a "Bundle of Joy" picture frame with a poem that Ryan had written to us in it. At the end of the poem it ready Baby Rogers' picture to be added March 2009.
We are sooooooooooooo excited!!!!!
