Nanny and Pops . . . .

Twenty six years ago, that guy on the right turned me into a mother. Now, thanks to him and his sweet wife - they're going to turn me and Daren into grandparents! That's right - the next generation of Taggs will be debut in September. On Valentine's Day, at the love dinner, the soon-to-be-parents had wrapped up a small gift for us containing a sonogram printout - such a fun surprise!!  Still awaiting news of gender (which, in the mean time, keeps the shopping for baby stuff to a minimum by this yet-to-be-grandma . . .) But, feel free from here on out to call us Nanny and Pops. We're looking forward to some great years ahead . . ..

Blooper . . . .

Marcy qualified for this year's school spelling bee - and was ready to storm the competition! After spelling some words correctly, she was given the word 'blooper' - but thought the moderator had said 'bluebird'! She spelled perfectly - b-l-u-e-b-i-r-d - but was eliminated. Apparently, you have to spell the correct word correctly, not just any old word correctly . . . She was a little disappointed - but likes to remember that she didn't, after all, misspell anything!
