Fun Facts about...

So ever since Zach and Whitney announced that they were expecting their second child which was also later followed by Chad and Erin that they were expecting their second child.
We have been thinking about a change of monthly updates!

All three of the grandbabies have been "All about..." so we thought that we would changed it to "Fun Facts about..."

We have decided to do Facts about Kaci and Brooklyn!

Kaci will start the end of June so make sure that you check out her introduction! Then make sure that you check out Brooklyn's introduction later in the summer!

Who is excited about it?!
