South Carolina

This is a long overdue update. About 3 weeks ago, we went to South Carolina for the weekend. It was a chance to see Kirk's family and friends and also to have our first baby shower! It was especially nice to see our sister in law Rachael and our nieces Hailey and Heidi. Rachael was brave enough to make the drive from Atlanta by herself (with a 4 year old and 1 year old!) because Kirk's brother had to work.

We got there Thursday early afternoon and pretty much went straight to Kirk's favorite BBQ place. Most of Thursday and Friday were spent running errands and visiting family. The shower was Saturday afternoon. It was so nice! The room looked great and the food was good! It was a little surreal to open all this baby stuff and realize it was for us! We got some really cute stuff! I don't really have many pictures from the shower, I'll post some more if I can track them down.

One of the cutest gifts we got was a diaper cake Rachael made. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the tiers of the cake are made up of rolled up diapers and then it's decorated with all sorts of baby gear.
Here's the only other picture I have from the shower. It's of me and Kirk and our friends Rob and Lisa....
