Remember those twin babes we announced in the family not long ago? They are doing so great that their mama is pregnant again! Rosanne Lortz also has a new book out. How she has time to write while she’s mothering not one but two babies  & expecting another is beyond me. What can I say? We have amazing women in this family!
