Say Cheese

We told my parents by giving them a Grandma and Grandpa picture frame with a note saying "pictures to follow in 9 months". But the most fun we had was telling the rest of my family (aunts, uncles, cousins). We gathered for a family picnic at my cousin's house. I got everyone together for a family photo. (This is almost impossible to do, there are so many of them). My parents already knew and were going along with me. Anyway, I was taking the pictures. The first picture I had them say "Cheese". The second picture, I had them say "March 29th", my due date. It was so funny because it didn't register with any of them. The next picture, I had them say "Surprise, I'm pregnant". Jaws dropped open, eyes got so big and I just snapped away with my camera. I got about three GREAT shots of the looks on their faces. It was awesome. What a great story to add to my son's baby book.
