Catching up!

I have been home for a whole week now from my 9 day trip through VA, NC, and SC with my baby and my dog while Jason was at the PCA General Assembly in VA Beach. So I figured it was time to catch up on the blog and post a few pics. Actually, it's probably better that I'm doing it this way b/c I'll be much more concise with my words and pictures than I would have been if I posted all of these as I went along.

I started my trip by going to Roanoke, VA to see some wonderful friends from college and go Elizabeth's baby shower.  It was at some point that weekend that I realized I had left for a 9 day trip to visit with family and friends, brought my camera, and left my memory card. So the pictures from Roanoke are courtesy of E, Meg and Courtney. thanks girls.

Adelaide's first time in a big pool! It was freezing and she loved it anyway.

Courtney, Elizabeth, Me, Adelaide and Meg. It was SO good and so refreshing to hang out with such good friends!

From Roanoke I went to Charlotte for one night only. But it was a VERY good night! I got to see Jason's parents, Aunt Meredith, cousin Anna, and Adelaide and I got to meet Jason's Nana, who has just moved from Texas to Charlotte, for the very first time! I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Nana holding Adelaide, but I'm sure we'll be down there again soon. And of course I got to see my sister, bro-in-law and 3 nephews before I headed down to.... CHARLESTON!

Oh, and my dad had volunteered to watch Brooke's two younger boys that week, so it was me, Adelaide, Nacho, Noah, and Griffin all packed in the minivan. Thank goodness for the Nintendo DS.  The week was fun and relaxing. I went to Zumba with my best friend Amber every day, went to the beach (of course), went shopping with my mom, saw my friend from Clemson Lindsey and her little girl Faith who was born 2 days after Adelaide, saw several other friends from high school, and went to a wedding that Saturday night. phew!
(no pics from the wedding and the pics of Adelaide and Faith turned out awful :-(  )

Adelaide snuggling with Pop - there was a lot of this going on all week :-)

me and Amber and our girls!! It was SO fun - and kind of surreal - to hang out with Amber and Ever. I'm pretty sure we just met in 6th grade like 2 days ago.

It was a really really good week and made me really really miss living in Summerville. But believe it or not, I was happy to be HOME in King George.... and Jason was glad to have us all home :-)
