The Announcement

We planned to make a public announcement of our joyful news at the end of our first trimester, right at 12 weeks. We cheated and announced it on the 11th week and 6th day... Not too bad, right?

Of course, arty-fartsy and sentimental me had to come up with a cover pic for our announcement. I couldn't have found a better idea than this! I've always loved Toms ever since the time they debuted their ever-so-genius philanthropic business concept to the world. I totally bought into the idea with a quickness... plus, I'm a sucker for super comfy flats. On top of that, I wanted to steal a chance to show off our family that includes our handsome busy-body lab, Tahoe. He's a hand-full (this may be the biggest understatement of the year), but we love him to pieces (and so will our kiddos)!

A special and huge thanks goes to my BFF, Serena, for being our personal photographer that day. Like I said, Tahoe's definitely not easy to deal with, so she ONLY had to take a million pictures of us...
