We're guessing by now that many of you are receiving Lawson's announcement. We know, we know, it is different. Well, that's why we did it. With Jax's birth announcement we asked one of Wade's closest friends, Ryan Hastings, to design. At the time Ryan was working for EA games (one of the largest video game creators). However, we reigned him back by giving him our thoughts and basic direction. For Lawson, we asked him to go wherever he wanted...and he did. We were pleasantly surprised. When Ryan emailed us the announcement he included his reasons for doing what he did...we've included that below.

i hope i didnt go too "out there" for you guys..the concept was this, i chose the picture that had the most personality, then i decided wings would be cool..but then decided to go abstract with that and make them out of tree branches. {1. to make it more masculine, 2. stay away from cliche feather wings} this all came to mind because spring is upon us, as well as the fact that he is a newborn which represents life and growth. so the branches are in bloom with green leaves. the starry sky idea came from his eyes which had blue in them. they looked like miniature solar systems in the reflection of each eye. also space has a very energetic feel and a feeling of the unknown. thought that tied in as well. because his life has yet to unfold.

We hope everyone will celebrate Lawson with us.
