Telling the Folks

On August 2 we invited our parents, siblings, grandparents, and Rosie over to Julie's house. We told everyone they were coming over for a party to celebrate Jim finishing the apprenticeship. My sisters already knew that we were pregnant at this point.
We called the party for 7:00. I found out later that Heather had to go to a ceremony to accept a scholarship from the Vietnam Society at 5:00. I was dying! She promised that she would get my parents to Julie's house no later than 7:30. She was good to her word. As soon as my parents got in the door and said their hellos I asked my mom to sit next to Jim's mom. I gave them each a gift. It was a book that was about Grandparents.

On the cover of the book was a spot for a picture. Obviously we had no picture yet so I just wrote "Coming Soon: Baby G March 1, 2010". The moms looked at each other and started laughing and then they passed the books off to the respective dads and then the grandparents.

Pretty soon everyone was hugging and screaming and crying. It was great!

My dad broke out the whiskey, people did a shot, and we had a nice rest of the night.


Here are some more pictures from the night!
