Life Lesson #215

Statute of limitations.

We stumbled across some pretty darn good news. So good, in fact, that we spent several months in a state of disbelief, worried that if we breathed wrong the good news might blow away. A few months passed and we finally felt safe enough to come out of hiding. But what were we to do with the good news?

Shouting from the mountaintops requires both hiking and shouting, two things these Ewalds don't really do. A simple, "hey. psst. we have good news.", just seemed too plain. So we sat. and deliberated. started a blog post, then two. and the good news continued to grow.

Turns out there's a statute of limitations when it comes to sharing good news. Hold onto it too long and eventually you feel like a real jerk.

So here it is, neither shouted nor whispered, and just a few months too late...

Our little family is growing by one. Our very own baby is expected to makes its debut in mid-February.

Luckily, good news remains good no matter how late it may be.
