Mortality is the main topic.
This year a lot of our relatives are battling their bodies. Both of my grandmothers got cancer and as I mentioned in the last post, one has passed. (Side-note: I am so glad we made the decision to go visit her and introduce her to the kids in early June. This is the stuff that matters.) LCD's dad has been dealing with a pretty serious autoimmune disorder for the last year and a half and his grandfather is back in the hospital today for numerous conditions after just getting out a couple weeks ago. And I'm beginning to realize this is going to continue. It is the normal way of life for things to start breaking down. For most of my youth I was surrounded by healthy thriving things and people and now I'm thinking about the "no duh" fact that I'm not so young anymore. On the happy side of things, more babies are coming to the family. And I'm getting to watch my children grow and become more and more awesome.
Big sis starts preschool next week. And the baby is almost to the HALF YEAR mark.
Oh life. It's bigger. Bigger than you.

Is little Bro's wife pregnant or is this on the lcd side?
On the mortality side of things, I think it hit me when my grandma died. I suddenly realized my mom looked was much older than I remembered her being. Her generation is starting to be the older generation now. It made me gulp and then I realized my mom is almost 70. This is what happens when your mom has you in her early 30s.
Abz,
Now that it's "facebook official" I think I can answer this question here and say BOTH. LCD's sis is expecting twins, most likely sometime next month. And little bro's TRIPLETS will probably debut sometime in December. So 5 new nieces and nephews before the year is up.
