Trip to South Carolina!

Lydia and I recently traveled back to South Carolina to see family and for me to meet up with my college girlfriends for a weekend reunion. I was also supposed to go to a baby shower for a dear friend. Lydia and I set out to do just that and got caught behind an eight car accident in 110 degree weather. It was not pretty. Needless to say, we did not make it to the shower which made me so sad since that was the reason why I made my trip into a week instead of a weekend. Oh well, God knows best.

Lydia had never met her cousins Reece, Ella, and Emmy, and I had yet to meet Emmy myself. So we got to spend time with my sister who traveled 9 hours to my mom's house to be with us. Thank you Amy! We had a blast just hanging out. We even all piled in the car and went places since my sister has a beast of a car the Suburban XL. It is a sweet ride with lots of room.

Then we traveled to see Drew's parents and Lydia's other cousins and we had a blast. I left for Nag's Head to see my girlfriends and left Lydia with her Grandma BB for the very first time and she did wonderful. I only left for 2 days, but she did great. She slept great and ate great. I was so proud. She was also an angel when we flew on the airplane. I was pleasantly surprised. I am now very much looking forward to our trip to the beach even with long plane rides. I think Luke and Lydia will both manage just fine.

All in all it was a great trip. i did miss Luke terribly but he did just fine with Daddy. He got spoiled rotten because daddy let him sleep in the bed with him. He also took him out a lot and got him a few new helicopters. It was great though when they met us at the airport and he ran up to me yelling mommy! Priceless...

Fun times playing in the sprinkler and with Barn. Lydia was not used to the humidity so she was always sweating.




This is how it is done in the south when it is way too hot and humid.


BB and Lydia

Cousins Lacy and julia! Julia wore this dress the entire time I was there and it just happens to be a shortened version of my bride's maids dress which makes perfect fun for dress up.
