North Carolina Trip

Chad, Chloe, and I headed to North Carolina a couple of weeks ago for 10 days. We have been thinking about this trip and planning this trip for the last several months so we were so excited to finally be on our way. It was Chloe's first airplane adventure and she did fantastic. We stayed with our friends the Bains who were sweet and hospitable to us. We love them to pieces and are so thankful for their friendship. Chloe especially loved playing with their two little girls, Sophia and Olivia. We spent most of our time in Raleigh and Charlotte with a quick trip to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was by no means a relaxing trip but it was a great family trip.

Christy's Baby Shower

I had the priviledge of throwing a baby shower for my sister-in-law last weekend. She is due in a couple of weeks with her second baby boy and we are so excited. It was a wonderful time to celebrate the new life that the Lord is creating inside of her. We can't wait to meet him!
