“I was at the cash and carry. Whitney was mingling around. She looks much prettier in person. Almost like a teenager , not a mom of 5! Carlin and Evan were the stars of the show. Thirty or more people in line waiting for a photo. No one in line for the other.”
“Interesting to hear. They all seem really nice from how they act online but interesting to see they are she same in person.”
“I think we all pretty much knew that Carlin & Evan will have at least one more kid. It’s been a matter of when, not if.”
