Announcement

We haven't made printed baby announcements since Sonja was born. Hers were on a beautiful pink card with scalloped edges, purchased at a local Cambridge stationery store. I printed out the information on some nice starry paper and hand cut and glued them to the cards. We probably mailed out 20.

With the next two, we were either moving right afterwards or it was too close to Christmas (and thus Christmas cards) to make a separate mailing. Not only that, but the availability of online printing (both standard and photo cards) has improved greatly since 1999. I took a peek at what a place like Snapfish might have to offer, and found it was quite a bit of fun. So, sorry child #2 and 3. I still love you. Peter's announcement will be a postcard with this picture set on the front and a short announcement on the back.






In other printing news, my sister has a post on her blog about "mom cards". Interesting idea. I might have to make some up, either of my own design or customized to fit the names of 4 kids.

I think those pictures need some captions.
