Dear Baby Howell,
What another special and exciting day. Today we told your Father's side of the family. Your Grandmother, Great Grandmother Betty and uncle Bryan came down to visit us for a BBQ at our house. We told each of them by giving them individualized special gifts. We gave your Grandmother and Uncle Bryan a bib and gave your Great Grandmother Betty a book. Your Grandmother opened hers first. She read Grandma on the bib and said out loud "Grandma, why Grandma, wait, are you trying to tell us something?" I said "yes" then she began jumping and gave me and your Father a huge hug. Your Great Grandmother was so surprised and so was your Uncle Bryan. I'm not sure if your Great Grandma Betty was more in shock about us being pregnant with you or that she is gaining a new title, "Great Grandma" She said, "man I'm old."

We have your Uncle George, Aunt Robyn and cousins, Caleb and Nick left to tell. Since they live so far away, we will have think of a special way to tell them!

We love you already,
Mom
