Yep, We're Pregnant!!!!!

These are photos from the weekend where we told our families our fun news! We made them work for it however....with a little word game!

With Jimmy's family we played at the Green Leaf (In Williamsburg, VA). Providentially both parents, Paul, Hannah, and Richard, as well as Paul's friend Erin were all at the table. We expained the game as a word game that we were going to use at Bible Study on that Wednesday, and we needed to try it out. (lies, lies) The family was pleased to be the focus group.

The premise was that each person drew a card from the pile and played it in turn, the objective in the end was to assemble a SENSIBLE sentance using only 3 colors, and no more than 3 of each selected color. The progression followed something like...

...dog
...dog on ball
...way on ball, dog
...we have a dog on ball
...we have a dog in the oven
...we have a bun? in the oven

Dad Garrity "We have a bun in the oven...you do?"
Jimmy "We do..."

Everyone..."What!!!!!!!!!, What!!!!!!!!! you're pregnant!!!!!!!"

On the Voss side, it followed similarly around the coffee table, after they bought the story about the game it began...

...dog
...the dog on
...the dog is on the way
...the oven is on the dog
pause

Then Tommy started getting wise to it...in a flurry...

...we have bun in oven (ignoring all the rules about colors, number of words, etc.)

Silently and quickly he bent across the table and embraced his daughter. Then it hit 'em all!

Susan..."I thought I'd never hear those words!"

Meg... "but mom, you can't tell anyone for 3 more weeks!, I mean it!"
Mom V... "No one? Not even MY mom?!"
Meg... "NO"
Mom V... "Ha, but I can call the Garrity's, I have to tell someone!!!"

She left they chatted and when she arrived back Mom V reported that she'd forever be referred to as...........

GRAND DEVA!!!!!

This of course was all in the midst of an ad hoc Mardi gras party that the Voss's threw, so we went back to wearing masks and celebrating, now with newfound reason!!!
