Having a father that is a lawyer and a husband that is also a lawyer (Congrats to Colonel Brandon for passing the bar!) makes for some clever announcement ideas. To tell me family the good news, Colonel Brandon created a contract for my dad to read and sign (and then created one for my mom that included an item about creating scrapbooks for the baby). We were taking family pictures this morning anyway, so we decided the announcement would be fun to catch on camera. Kim did an amazing job and we are so excited to see all the pictures. As soon as we all got there we handed them to my parents to hurry and read and sign. My mom thought it was some agreement from the photographer so it worked great. Eventually they stopped saying, "Oh my heck, you've got to be kidding me," and we all explained to my sisters what was going on.
