South Carolina

Yes...we're back from South Carolina! We got home late last Thursday, and I've been trying to get back into the swing of things; catching up on laundry, cleaning the house and working like crazy on invitations. I got several new orders from my Etsy and website while I was gone, so I'm happily very busy!!

I've had LOTS to post about over the last week, but other things are taking priority! I'll try to get caught up this week.

Barrett's first plane ride was a success. Considering the very long days of travel, he was such a trooper. This was our departure day: Woke up at 5:30am to get myself ready and then woke Barrett up at 6:30am (hour earlier than usual)...Gigi & Papa picked us up at 6:45am and we drove an hour to the Wichita airport...We had a 2-1/2 hour flight from Wichita to Detroit...1-1/2 hour layover in Detroit, which was enough time to use the bathroom, grab a quick lunch and buy Barrett some milk...Then we had a 2 hour flight from Detroit to Columbia...Got into Columbia at 3:55 pm (2:55pm our time)...My brother picked us up and we had an hour drive to Aiken. WHEW!!

We had a great time on the trip! Barrett had fun with his cousins, Emma and Lauren, and he loved all the time we got to spend outdoors. We got to visit horses, go to storytime in the park and watch Emma play soccer.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to see my older brother and his family in South Carolina.

Lauren had some news to share with us....
Can you read her shirt?
