Simply Stated

I have been anxious to share the announcement cards that we recently sent out. I was waiting for the snail mail to catch-up so I wouldn't spoil it for those following along with our blog who might also receive one in the mail!

I had originally planned to go a different direction, creating one from an Internet site & using a photo of both kids, but after taking Tyler in to a local studio I just had to use these! The day I took him I had absolutely NO expectations and was prepared to promptly leave if he became fussy or upset. Instead he LOVED it and so did the photographer! :)

Sadly they did not have a template that would accommodate an adoption announcement, but they worked hard to find another card that would allow 3 photos and the most text fields. Still had to compromise and leave a few details out, but I am just tickled with the result!

AND since I still wanted to include our best girl (cuz afterall, she's a big part of this too!) my wonderful MIL Becky made me 2 beautiful photo stickers to place on our envelopes! I have included them below, though they will look familiar to most of you!

Hoping to visit blogs tonight or this weekend; Mr. Sweet Cheeks is in a Mama only phase right now, so I have to hustle to even get this posted!! :) Those naps go FAST!!

Sorry, not so clear, but you kind of get the idea I hope!

This is similiar to the one I posted last Friday, but less sun exposure & more Tyler cheek.! ;)

And you've all seen this gem, but Mimi O. (a.k.a. miracle worker Becky ) was able to doctor the pick for our stickers and eliminate the drool factor! lol Oh, the magic of photo shop!

Happy weekend everyone!
