Memorable Memorial Weekend

This past weekend was wonderful! We packed up the car and headed out of town..for the first time..with a 4 week-old! We left on Friday evening and went to Winnsboro. So Wesley got to spend the night at his Mimi & Papa T's house for the first time. And he also got to test out his pack-and-play for the first time (it worked really well!) Saturday we slept in and played around the house until the afternoon. Then we headed up to York, SC to visit my friends from college who were getting together for Dave's birthday. It was so WONDERFUL to get together with good friends, who I do not get to see very often. We almost all have babies now, so it was fun to swap stories, learn tricks, and coo over each other's babies! :) Saturday night we went back to Winnsboro, so Sunday we got to spend some more QT with Mimi & Papa T. We did not visit the 30 goats out back this time, but will introduce Wesley to them sometime soon ;) Here are the pics! Love you all.

1 month old!

Wesley is 4 weeks old today, WOW! He is doing great :) We went to the pediatrician this morning, and he got a good report. He is gaining weight very well (2 ounces per day almost, when a minimum of 1 ounce per day was the goal..hooray mommy's milk!). When I picked him up this morning, I told Wesley that I think he grew another chin over night!! ;) He is just the most precious little blessing ever, we love him SO MUCH! 

This past weekend we had some more visitors. Josh's mom (aka Mimi), his step-dad Herb (aka PapaT), and josh's grandparents (Grandmama & Grandpapa) all came down to visit little Wesley. We had a lovely time, and even got to enjoy a yummie steak dinner! (Wesley says thanks again guys!!!) 

The whole gang!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Wesley is 2 weeks old today! WOW time has flown by already! He is just so precious, and we love him so very much :) Each day he develops more and more personality, and funny faces. He is eating well and growing well. Yesterday at the pediatrician he weighed 7# 6oz. That's a gain of 14oz. in a week! Praise the Lord for such a beautiful healthy baby. We have enjoyed visits from family and friends. Josh is still studying hard, and will return to work tomorrow. Thank you for your calls and notes of encouragement, we are very grateful :)Enjoy the latest pictures!
