So we decided to surprise everyone with the big news by inviting them over for a cookout on Saturday (July 30th 2011). During the festivities, we wrangled everyone in front of the fireplace for a group photo. After everyone was in position, I then asked my lovely assistant to grab my “reflector” because we just weren’t getting enough light on our subjects. Unbeknownst to them, this was no ordinary reflector. This was actually a poster board Kayla and I had decorated the night before with the word BABY pasted in big bold letters. You can see the reflect…er poster board at the end of the movie, during the credits. Once Kayla had the reflector in place, I told the group that we were going to take a test shot. It was then that Kayla and I counted to three and she turned around the board to reveal the hidden surprise and we yelled “WE’RE PREGNANT!” Well, you can see everyone’s reaction below. It was priceless. I will cherish this memory forever.
Baby Fresh
Ahhh… I love that new blog smell! There doesn’t seem to be a better time to start a blog as when you have the inspiration of a baby on the way. This blog will serve as the hub to all updates about our little one as we enjoy this roller coaster that is pregnancy. Hopefully, unlike my previous attempts at blogging, the road to parenthood will provide me with lots to talk about and document and will always be up to date and interesting (hmmm). Among the baby updates I’ll also post other happenings going on in the Williams’ household, maybe a few photos, and I’ll be sure to keep the tech talk to a minimum. So, let’s start this first post off with a bang. Here is a photo from the get-together we hosted on Saturday (July 30th 2011) where we sprung the big news to the family (another post to come). BABY!
