Telling Our Loved Ones

Without having a due date I wasn't wanting to tell people about our surprise. However, the Saturday after we got the positive answer on Friday we were already scheduled to see Brendan's parents. We had also decided to take Audrey. The Chance's were going to keep Audrey while we were at Faulkner's Homecoming football game in the afternoon then we were all going to watch the AU vs. GA football game that evening before coming home.
To tell the new grandparents-to-be we decided Audrey needed to wear a "Big Sister" t-shirt. We looked around at a few stores, but quickly realized we should just make one ourselves. So...Friday evening I made this:




















Audrey loved it. She was so excited about going to see everyone on Saturday you'd think she knew what her shirt said!


































When we got to Prattville she quickly ran inside to find her friend Dudley. Mrs. Charmaine and Mr. Bob weren't surprised to see her in a t-shirt...they were just surprised to see it wasn't an Auburn t-shirt! (Audrey usually sports those on game days.) It took them a few seconds to read what it said, but they all Mrs. Charmaine kept doing was looking at us and say "Huh? What? Really?" (or something like that) It was priceless!

I hated to tell them, especially Mrs. Charmaine, that we needed them to not tell anyone until at least Wednesday evening. I felt so bad! I knew it was going to be hard...but I REALLY appreciated her keeping our secret. :)

After spilling our exciting news to them we headed to Faulkner's Homecoming football game. We had a good time...but it was a bit harder not to tell anyone our big news :) Here are some pictures from our time there (including pics of some of our College Ave. youth kids on Homecoming Court!) Congrats to Leeann and Tyler who were crowned Homecoming Queen and King!
