Baby Announcement Celebrations

Back in September when we made our quick trip to California so Joshua could give a couple of papers, we also were excited to share the news of our pregnancy with our families. We got great reactions on both sides and some pretty surprised faces. After the news was out, it was time to celebrate.

Heather gave me a bag of her favorite maternity clothes that she had just gotten back from Michelle. 

Mom brought home two kinds of Cold Stone ice cream for a special mid-afternoon treat.

We also enjoyed a delicious family dinner complete with raspberries that Mom picked up and raspberry wine that Dad got because the baby was the size of a raspberry at the time.
