The Big Reveal

Today was a very special day. We found out what to expect in January.

Check out this profile. What do you think....blue or pink?

It's PINK!! We'll soon be welcoming Emily Kathryn!


We had our reveal party tonight for all the family, and it was lots of fun. I had so much fun getting all the food and decorations ready. Everyone showed up early, itching to know if it was blue or pink. Most everyone was guessing blue, so our little girl is already surprising everyone!

7 votes for blue plus 4 absentee votes

4 votes for pink plus 4 absentee votes
(It looks like the future grandparents know best!)


the happy parents
We played a little game to guess what the baby would
be. The family had to answer clues about me and Brad,
and these answers would help them solve the blue/pink question.

Do you see anything?
What about now? My mom was the first
to spot Emily's name in the puzzle.
Actually, she had it figured out after the first clue...
that's a mother's intuition!

(My mom's a pro with 4 grandkids already, but
this will be Mrs. Kathy's first!)


the food table
(That's my teddy bear between the flowers.)

My mom made this baby carriage from
a watermelon... so clever!

Tyler (Brad's brother) was sure it was
a boy! Maybe next time....


We all watched our sweet little Emily on
her first DVD. She's already quite a performer!

I'm so completely impressed with your creativity! And I love the name Emily too (it had made it to our short list of girl names, if we were having a girl). Congrats!!!

Kim said...

YEA!!!!!! I wore PINK! =) I am so so so excited for you. I just love this update. I can't believe your mom was able to pick out Emily's name. I am so impressed. It looks like y'all had so much fun! =)
I've been busy moving into the apt, so I haven't been around a computer. I talked to my county, and the hiring freeze is until Labor Day. They will help me find a job and told me not to get discouraged- they staff all year long. So just more waiting...
