A name from the past...



These pics aren't meant to be morbid...just to show where the history behind Anna's name came from. The name "Anna" is from my great-great-grandmother, Anna (Urbanosky) Higgason, who immigrated to America from Czechoslovakia. The name "Dean" is from my great grandmother Annie (Higgason) Dean, who is the mother of my grannie, Bernice Dean Williams. My mother is also named Dean..Joan Dean Ramsey. And, my middle name is Dean...Susan Dean Ramsey Baggerman. In addition, my father's grandmothers were also named Anna and Annie. And, Clint's Gram's mom was also named Anna and also immigrated to the U.S. from Czechoslovakia. So, little Anna has a lot of history behind her name!

Getting ready for baby...



Daddy works hard to get Anna's room painted and prepped...just perfect before her arrival! Too bad Mom can't be around the fumes so has to go shopping while Dad works...:-)

Susan's Work Baby Shower



What a wonderful surprise! Some of my co-workers stealthily planned a surprise baby shower for me and Anna...all disguised as a "2006 planning meeting". Well...I guess it did in fact help out a ton in preparing for a big 2006 event!
