Sharing The News

Telling My Parents

I wouldn't normally spill the beans so early but I was getting ready to spray paint some furniture and thought I better ask my Dad if it was safe, so....I sent him a little text that said, "Not saying that I am, but would it be safe to spray paint if I were pregnant?haha well he replied quickly and was very excited, but his lips were sealed until I could get a card out in the mail to my mom. I felt bad that my Dad knew such excited news and my Mom didn't so I sent out the little card a few days later.

                           

I decorated a gum box and inside was a little note sharing our big news (very simple). My mom called me as soon as she opened it and was also very excited...and very glad that I didn't keep the secret for any longer. Hopefully she hid the box so nobody else finds out yet(I have a little something planned for the siblings....but it will be a while).

Telling Skyler's Parents

We were headed to Farrell and Dena's for Thanksgiving last week. We had been putting notes in our thankful turkey all month planning to open them on Thanksgiving with the family, we figured that would be a perfect way to share the new with them.

I slipped in this little note and Farrell ended up having it in his pile that he was reading. He read it ahead of time and secretly saved it for the very last thankful note to be read. After everybody read there pile of notes Farrell says," oh, I have one more"... and read the note. They were so excited and were very happy we shared the news with them so soon. And since Dallen was home he knows now to....but he's the only one besides our parents, lucky duck!
