Family Dinner in Madison, TN


Baby Evan is in attendance.
Our family is getting larger every month. Hunter missed the dinner due to being exhausted after 2 hours at the park that morning. He didn't miss out on dessert though.
Nannie's gift to "Baby Sister". It is beautiful!
Mawmaw enjoying a little Evan time. Not many people get the chance to bottle feed Evan, but Sara had pumped to give someone the opportunity.
Hangin' Out

Saying good-bye has been the hardiest thing to do this weekend. Nannie decided to have everyone over for lunch on Sunday afternoon. Everyone squeezed in around the dinning room table to enjoy steaks, potatoes, corn on the cob, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Our family is expanding so fast that I don't think this time next year we will all be able to fit around the dinning room table. We received our first baby gifts due to not being back in the area until after "Baby Sister" is born. Aunt Sallie gave us a beautiful picture frame. Mawmaw gave us a pink and white afghan. Hunter and I sleep with our afghans every night, no matter the temperature outside. Mawmaw had made me a pink and white afghan as a baby. It is one that I still have and will be holding on to forever. Nannie gave us "Baby Sister's" hand-stitched baby quilt. It is beautiful. The work on this quilt is so detailed. I don't know how she found the time to do this, but it is something both my daughter and I will cherish forever. The day ended with Daddy and Adam going to play 18 holes of golf, which made Daddy's day. He loves to play and doesn't get much of a chance these days. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and father. The day was a wonderful way to say good-bye to my sisters, brother-in-laws, and nephews. Thank you Papa and Nannie!
