Isaac's Birth Announcement

Some of you have received his birth announcement but most have not. I thought the design of them would be easy enough. I found the exact setup already packaged; it just need to be printed and put together. Wow, that does sound easy! I have spent quite a bit of time working on them since Isaac was about 2 weeks old. One problem is that the computer program and printer are at my in-laws so I had to make arrangements to be at their house and have either someone to watch J.K. there or do it around his nap time. The latter worked only if he decided to take a nap; today is not one of those days. Today is my last attempt at getting these announcements printed. That's been the biggest challenge. The printer HATES me! It hates the vellum paper, too.

I have spent about 3.5 hours just today attempting to print these. Of course I've had some distraction with a 2.5 year old who refuses to take a nap and an 8 week old who really is no problem at all. I've managed to get 16 printed! If my children weren't here, I'd be a sailor right now.

I had wanted to get these mailed before Thanksgiving and here it is 2007. So, some of you will not be receiving the pretty birth announcement and rather just the photo card. I'm sorry. It really irks me that this would be so difficult, but I should have known. The next child will only get a photo announcement card; I'm doing this again! Not with 3 children then! LOL

So for those of you who have not received the birth announcement, the rest will be going out this week. CHEERS!
