How I found out



The video is dark and hard to see, but I hope you get the message being delivered!

Just call me Grannibelle! (thank you Paige!)


Our family addition is scheduled to make his/her arrival on December 8th.
Proud parents are Skyler & Lauren.


Am I excited?

Is our whole family excited?

Over the moon.

Could life get any better?



Names of the week: Aiden or Macie

PS. No I have not started a quilt, yet.
Yes, I did go buy something baby for them. A grandma's gotta spend!!

Kim Walus said...

Pretty Exciting!

My Grandma endearment is Grammi and I almost thought I read Grammibelle!

You can use it if you want too. I don't mind.

With how fast Christmas comes each year I'm sure it'll be here before we know it! I can hardly wait, though!

Paige said...

Thank you for the video!! So happy for you. Oh yeah, and lolo

Celia Fae said...

What was in the bag? I need to know.

I'm so glad it was filmed. I really got the joy element. Can't wait until it is my turn.

Way to go Lolo.

Hillary said...

congratulations! nothing like being a gramma... or so I'm told. I hope not experience that for several more years ;)

Nortorious said...

Congratulations to you and your whole family! You needed some babies around. Hurray!

diane said...

Your reaction is priceless.

Can we have a weekly update like you did for the wedding? Please.

Hazen5 said...

We watched the movie over and over and over! Your reaction was priceless. We are so happy for you. We have so much planning to do, I feel like Lo's getting married all over again!

Christie said...

Yes, I need to know, too. What's in the bag?

That was so cute to see you and her jumping up and down with excitement. What great, happy news. Yay!

Robin said...

Yay! So, what was in the bag? A pregnancy test?

Jenibelle said...

Lots of goodies in the bag, but the first thing I saw was a sheet of paper from the Women's Health Clinic and it said "Congratulations Mommy! The bag also had the pregnancy test and a Parent's magazine and Pre-Natal vitamins. So fun.

Lisa-Marie said...

This video makes me cry every time. I just love that the joy is emanating out of everyone!

If Sirri had been a boy, she would have been Aidan. If Connor had been a girl I was fighting for Macy. (Still didn't have Kendon convinced. But we all know, that mommies get the last say!) Lauren and Skyler have great name taste!!!

Lauren in GA said...

Oh, Jeni!!!! Well, I mean Grannibelle, THAT IS SO WONDERFUL!!!

I laughed and got teary as you yelled repeatedly, "Are you kidding?! Are you kidding?!"

Congrats!!!

Was Skyler taping? I heard whomever was taping giggling at you.

Rochelleht said...

Oh, yeah you! How fun. I'm sure being a grandma is SO much better than being a mom. But, we all have to put in our time on the latter to attain the former. ;-)

Vicki said...

Woo Hoo! Being a grandma is the best! Congrats to everyone!

Ilene said...

I'm so excited for you! I'm glad that you guys got that on video!

My mom makes quilts for all of her grandbabies. They are so beautiful that I refuse to let the kids sleep with them. Instead, I hang them on the wall. I have been wanting to do a post on that. Gotta get to that.
