Set Free

As soon as we found out it was so tempting to call everyone up and let them know. However I knew it would be better to tell family in person, if it was possible. So we found out the morning after my mom's birthday, so it was so hard to wait.  We heard my parents were babysitting my nephews that Friday night and I thought that would be perfect to know my sister's family was in town.  How much fun would it be to make a game for the kids to tell the family?

The reason I've been away from my blog so much is because it's all I can do to get up in the morning and make it to work on time. Why you ask? Because January 30th I woke up and got this surprise: I don't think that line could be any clearer! :)
