Our FIRST Niece!

Congrats to Melissa, Glenn, and big brother Jack on our first niece, Emma Rae Hagberg! We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet our newest, sweetest little girl. Abby and Olivia are going to have lots and lots of fun with her at Grandma & Grandpa's house.
Emma Rae born July 1, 2010. 7 pounds 10 ounces, 19 1/2 inches long (almost identical to Olivia)

Another Cousin for Sparky

Sparky's Aunt Melissa and Uncle Glenn will be providing Sparky with her fourth cousin sometime around July 23rd. We are all very excited for a playmate for Sparky on the Hodges side of her family. It was a wonderful Christmas surprise for everyone!

Sparky's Cousin

Sparky's newest cousin, who is expected one week before Sparky's big appearance, is going to be a boy according to the ultrasound. We are very excited for nephew number 3 and hope that he and Sparky will be very good friends. Sparky is just a few days from revealing his (or her) gender. The big reveal is at 8:30 next Tuesday morning. Since they will now have 3 grandsons, I am sure that Grandma and Grandpa Obreiter are hoping for a little girl, but Steve and I will just be happy to have a healthy little one who doesn't cry too much.

Check back Tuesday night for the big reveal and for the weekly statistics. Have a wonderful weekend!

A Cousin for Sparky

Sparky already has two cousins, Connor and Noah, but he will also have one more, very close in age. We found out yesterday that Sparky's newest cousin is due only 7 days before Sparky. We are sure Sparky would be very excited about this if he knew. He will probably have to share birthday parties at Grandma Obreiter's, but that is a good trade off for a cousin so close in age to be friends with.

Tomorrow Sparky will be accompanying us to the Cirque Du Soliel. Of course, he will not be able to enjoy the acrobats and contortionists, but we will be sure to tell him all about it someday. Maybe he can even visit the show at Disney World someday.
