Our First Road Trip

This past weekend we took Evan down to Effingham, which is about a 3 hour drive, to meet Rick's family and friends. We loaded up the car Friday afternoon - who would think a 2 month old baby would need so much stuff for just 3 days?? The cargo area was filled! The trip down there went relatively smoothly, except for a "pooping" incident when we stopped to feed him at a rest area. Let's just say thank goodness for baby wipes and for packing extra outfits!

Throughout the weekend Evan had a lot of visitors! Rick's grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins stopped by, all taking turns to hold him. Our friends Kevin and Jen brought Benjamin, their adorable 10 month old son over. It was fun watching the two of them look at each other! Soon they'll be playing and getting into trouble together. We were also able to visit with our friends Dave and Debra and were thrilled to hear their good news! Will another boy join the group or will it be a girl??

We all had a great time seeing everyone and can't wait to visit again!

Rick's grandparents meeting Evan for the first time. He really was happy to see them!
