NaBloPoMo #27- AuntSoo to the fourth!

I'm going to be an aunt again! MR's baby sister Paula and her husband Ray are expecting!

This will be their fourth child. All the rest are four and under.

They're crazy. But they make beautiful babies.

When Raymond, formerly known as Ray-Ray, was little and Paula was expecting Sammy, Beena went upstate to live with them for the summer as an au pair. She got really close to the kids- so close that the family took her to the Bahamas with them so Paula and Ray could go out at night. Unfortunately, we live about an hour and a half away, so I don't get to see them as much as I want to.

But when we do, we can't help talking about them all the way home. They are riots. Sammy (aka Samantha) with her crazy beautiful hair, Raymond with his fasination with trucks and guns and Lily asking "why?" all the time. They are precocious, smart and wild. They're loving and funny and satisfy my need to read to small children. And tickle. I have to tickle these kids because their laughs are cotton candy and gumdrops. I've done "baby hat" *to each and every one of those kids- some of them while in the hospital waiting for their baby brother or sister to be born. I wish I lived around the corner so Aunt Soo can spoil them rotten. I'm jealous of Titi who only lives five minutes away. But I love Titi, too. She's a wonderful aunt,

Paula doesn't want to know what the next baby is going to be, but I think we're all wishing for a boy. I know whatever it is, it'll be as beautiful and loved as the others.

We took this picture to give to Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas last year...


What a family!
