Why not, right? (It can be hard not to wallow a bit, but I'm trying to keep the wallowing to a minimum and look at this holiday season as one full of possibility, not tragedy.)

"revel in joy and anticipation....Absolutely... "revel in joy and anticipation." Beautifully put. It is an interesting Christmas, I waffle between totally happy we're on a more definite path and being sad that it's our 6th Christmas where we could have had a baby but don't. (Or first married Christmas was barely 2 months after we got married, so I don't count that one). Trying to stick with the joy and anticipation and not the wallowing, and this card will help!

My concerns are that I would worry that people might think that there's a baby in the nursery possibly, and that the doorway is so awkward that it's literally impossible to get that shot, unless someone is in the nursery taking a picture of us peeking in. Might echo our favorite wedding picture, actually... :) I will think on this! We haven't made a decision yet, but this could work! :)<br />Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-6975019480547414622015-12-05T11:19:40.229-08:002015-12-05T11:19:40.229-08:00I'm glad you liked last year's cards!

I should send them as thank you notes for Christmas, ha. :) I'd be happy to send you one! :)<br /><br />That is SO TRUE. I wonder if we should put the 800# for our agency on the cards and a "spread the word!" kind of message. What a spectacular thought...I didn't think of that!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-18598370777391433432015-12-05T11:18:02.870-08:002015-12-05T11:18:02.870-08:00Thank you!
