Last weekend (April 5-9, 2012) we had both sets of parents and Mary Parker in town and we made the big announcement!! This weekend ranks as one of the best of my life so far it was perfect. Here is the "how we told them story" its pretty good..... My parents plane landed in Gainesville around two and we took them to a late lunch downtown. I wore a long black dress, because those of you that know Angela (my mom) know that she would not be quite about suspicious weight gain!! Will's parents and Mary Parker didn't land until seven. We had everyone over for some pre dinner drinks and appetizers. I could barely stand it any longer I kept looking at Will giving him the "please hurry look". After everyone said their hellos and got settled with drinks, Will said that I had been working on some new art. I like to paint I'm not amazing or anything, but its a fun hobby. Everyone gathered around in the living room then Will brought out the chalk board and set it against the wall. (see pictures of board) The faces and reactions were so fun to watch....the main reaction was pure SHOCK!!! (We had done a very good job of keeping our little precious baby J a secret) The initial shock was followed by excitement and joy it was a really touching moment for Will and I knowing how loved our baby already is by both of our families. We continued to celebrate baby J the rest of the weekend in St. Augustine!!!
