Baby announcements – What you didn’t get one? Well don’t get upset, no one else did either because we never managed to get them out. What we DID manage to do is have our good friends Brian and Amanda Jackson (We call them Brimanda) come over and take baby picture announcement photos. They both have incredible design minds and Brian is pretty amazing with a camera. We had purchased a few tulips for the occasion but then had the bright idea to pick some of the beautiful roses growing in our own garden. As you can see, they are gorgeous fat and yellow. We had posed Giada with the flowers for about 10 shots, then suddenly Amanda whipped her out of her basket so fast we all were standing there with our mouths open. She said, “A bee! A bee!” and darned if a big  ole fat bumblebee didn’t stagger out of the middle of the rose tight next to Giada’s face.  Almost heart attack 817…
