We left on Thursday night after Young Pros and headed to Florida (leaving about 9:30pm)... Then we drove til 1:30 and spent the night in a hotel and got up the next morning and finished the trip. It was so nice being able to break the trip up. When we got down there on Friday we hung out with his parents until about 5 we left and went to Grandpaps house for a party! It was Andrew's mom's side of the family all came to meet HattieJo for the first time. It was so much fun... kind of crazy with all the kids around, but HattieJo was in someone's arms all night long! Here are a few pictures of the night:
*this is what was written on Andrew's parents calendar in the kitchen.. i guess everyone was right when the baby comes, the parents don't matter anymore! hahaha
*all the men sitting around cooking the low-country boil:
*Grandpap (Joe Patten) and HattieJo
How fun! And yes it is true- the kids are all that matter now:)
ReplyDeletePS. Thanks for your sweet comment on our blog and for your encouragement. Do you know that HattieJo has been an encouragement to me since we found out? I figure that if a 2-vessel baby can be so perfect and sweet as HattieJo than this one will be okay too!!!
