Busy Spring

We have been so busy this spring and summer. We are adjusting to life with a baby and feel so blessed by our little girl--especially since we are getting more sleep these days. We didn't realize how easy life had become with McLean. However, Claire adds even more sweetness and fullness to our family! Kevin had promised McLean a camping trip. Claire and I went along to document the trip by taking photos. When we got there, Kevin and McLean set the tent up and McLean immediately put Buzz and Woody in the tent! He was so excited about them going camping with him. After the tent was set up we got the food out for dinner. McLean said, "Hey Dad- aren't we supposed to eat the marshmallows first?" Too funny! After a quick dinner, the rain clouds dumped a huge storm. Claire and I saw that as the perfect opportunity to head to our nice dry home. The boys stuck it out and roasted marshmallows, played in the creek, and went for a walk. They had a super time.

McLean insisted on wearing his "Birthday Boy" shirt on the camping trip.

My mom, Claire, and I headed to Greensboro for Porter-Ann's wedding showers. I can't believe that my brother is getting married so soon. Also, he got a great catch!! We are super excited about her becoming part of our family!

An added bonus to the trip was that we got to stay with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mike and Sarah. They live in a beautiful place in Summerfield. Sarah is an amazing cook and provided yummy meals throughout the weekend. We so enjoyed getting to see them as well! Our Claire went to stay with "Gramma Claire", for whom she is named, during one of the showers. I tried to upload a picutre of that, but it didn't work. I will try again later. Now, we are packing and preparing for our trip to Minnesota for the wedding! We are looking forward to the wedding festivities!
