Peregrine

My youngest sister and her husband, Garry & Kayla Perza, phoned and told us that she is pregnant. She has not been to her first doctor’s appointment, yet, so she doesn’t have a “firm” due date, however, it should probably be somewhere in the later half of April, 2007.

We’re not the first in the family to have children. My sister Monica’s little boy, Ammon, was born December 2, 1999. The “middle” sister, Janine, has a son (Steven, born June 23, 2001) & a daughter (Robyn, born September 16, 2002), and my youngest brother, Lance, already has a son (Joseph, born May 28, 2002). So, the first little baby boom was in 2001-2002.

In case you haven’t been keeping score, there are 3 boys and 3 girls in my family (my siblings and I). I’m the eldest of the six and our parents now have 4 grandchildren (3 boys, 1 girl) with 2 more on the way (1 girl, 1 unknown).

Recently, my mother and I decided that a “baby boom” has begun in the family, starting with our first child. Kayla’s is the second in the new boom. We think it will not be very long before both of my brothers (with their wives, of course) start having kids, too.
