A Taylor Hello and Farewell

This past weekend was super busy for us! We first celebrated my birthday on Friday and then packed up and hit the road early Saturday morning for Burlington. We had a family reunion on Sunday and couldn't wait to meet our new niece Taylor! We always feel so rushed . . . so we decided to make it a weekend affair and stay overnight. First up was meeting baby Taylor!!! She is just adorable and looks like she is also going to have red hair like her siblings. :)


After loving on her awhile, we picked up Maddie and Dillon and headed for the city park. These kids LOVE the park and Savannah has been talking about going again all summer. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day . . . nice breeze, not too hot, and overcast. It was great. However, our kiddos quickly wore out and we headed to grandmas for a special McDonald's lunch. Here are a few pictures from the park.

After church on Sunday we made a quick appearance at the family reunion, grabbed some delicious food, and then hit the road with our exhausted, unnapped children headed for Charlotte.

Some of our best friends, The Taylors, are moving to Greenville and we helped plan a farewell party for them. It was a blast and huge success with 59 people coming (counting children and adults). I cannot even begin to express how sad I am to say farewell to Jessica & Russ as they transition to a new home in a new city. They have prayed us through some of the most difficult times in our lives, prayed for our children before they were even conceived, and been there for our family in countless ways. How thankful I am that they aren't moving too far and that I know our friendship will last forever! Russ and Jessica, we wish you the best and can't wait to visit soon!!
