Those are such awesome ways to share your news! The guy I was engaged to many many moons ago, when his sisters found out they were pregnant the first time, one was around Fathers Day so she had a "Grandpa" card for her dad, and the other was at Christmas & signed all the gift tags from "A, A & ?" The second time around for both of them, they found out they were both expecting twins, due 3 weeks apart, so mostly they were in such shock they weren't creative. LOL <em>Dawn's last blog post..<a href='http://daybreak1012.blogspot.com/2008/05/is-memorial-day-socially-acceptable-for.html' rel="nofollow">is Memorial Day socially acceptable for doing a Summer post?</a></em> Awww!

Tue, 27 May 2008 12:42:18 +0000 http://www.pocklock.com/2008/05/26/how-we-told-them/#comment-3333 Love the place-card thing. I don't remember us doing much creative with our announcements. I DO, however, know what holidays are like having to visit three families (my parents were both remarried many years ago). God bless you for having to visit FOUR. Wait ... I do remember the announcement. Someday I'll blog about why I turned from a Yankee fan to a Red Sox fan, but it's an emotional story, and so far I haven't been able to do it. Suffice to say that my family gave me a lot of crap about it, and were still giving me crap the day we were gathered for my nephew's second birthday in late summer, 2004. It was one of the rare occasions when my two families happened to be in the same house, so that was as good a time as any. After dessert, I stood up, waited to get everyone's attention, and calmly told them there would be another Sox fan in the family. Then I sat down. Took 'em a couple seconds.
