Vacation - lots of pictures!

We had a nice long week and half of vacation and did a lot of traveling. We began our vacation traveling to Kiawah. Luke did great in the car ride besides the two diaper blow outs he had in the car:) We spent a week in Kiawah with my family and drove back to Atlanta to catch a plane flight to Ocean City New Jersey for four days with Matt's family. Luke was great on the plane! One man even commented that he didn't even know there was a baby behind him. We are so blessed to have such a calm and good baby! Here are some pictures from New Jersey were Luke met many of his relatives.

Luke's First Beach Adventure!

We're enjoying our time at the beach with the family at Kiawah. Luke had his first beach experience on Saturday night. Yesterday was Matt's first Father's Day and we went back to our old church in Charleston and enjoyed lunch with great friends. It was very windy on the beach yesterday so we didn't stay out long but today Luke enjoyed his time in the water and nap on the beach. Here are some pictures that Aunt Leslie took of the family and Luke. More to come this week!

Three Months Old

I can't believe that Luke will be 3 months old tomorrow! He is doing great and sleeping through the night 8pm-7am give or take a few minutes:) We are leaving on Friday to go to Kiawah Island right next to Charleston SC. We would appreciate your prayers for a safe trip and that Luke would travel well and adjust well to different surroundings. We are excited about Luke's first trip to the beach and he gets to meet all his Charleston friends! Enjoy the most recent pictures...

After his bath! He loves to hold on to things all the time. I thought it was cute how he has grabbed his towel in this hand.

Our Little Dreamboat

My sister Leslie calls Luke a Dreamboat so that is where the title of this post comes from. She currently lives in NYC so she does not get to see Luke often but only through pictures, I know she is excited about the upcoming family vacation so she can spend a whole week with her Dreamboat! Here are some recent pictures of Luke he is now 10 weeks old:)


So sleepy



I love reading with Daddy





Aunt Caroline came to visit
