How We Told....

I love unique ideas on how to share great news with the family. With a cute baby type frame, I printed this out and stuck it in. We gave it to our families for Easter!

To: Grandpa and Grandma
I do not have a face to see, or put inside a frame.
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss, I don’t yet have a name.
You can’t yet hold my tiny hands, ‘nor whisper in my ear.
It’s still too soon to sing a song, or cuddle me so near.
But all that will change come November 16th 2010;
that’s when they say I am due. I’ll be your fourth grandchild;
I can’t wait till I meet you. All I ask between now and then
is your patience while I grow. I promise I’ll be worth the wait,
because of all the love we’ll know. So have a Happy Easter.
A wish to you from me. I cannot wait to be a part of this great family!
Love, Baby Hall

How I told my husband:

He was heading out for two weeks to Tennessee and I had just taken a pregnancy test. Before going to bed the night before he left I gave him a little gift. I handed it to him and said it was just something that would allow us to be with him even when we aren't. He opened it up, found a rolled up paper printout of a picture of our family and it was wrapped around the pregnancy test. He looked at it a little confused as he had never read one before. It took it a moment to sink in what I was really trying to tell him, then he got excited! He stood up jumping and gave me a big hug while trying to spin me. It was cute!

How we told the kids.... the video says it all!
