Ollie man and I are back in the great state of Alabama after a whirlwind of travel. The trip began very well with a bump into Business Class for the flight across the ocean. By the way, don't buy sparkling water to mix with formula (I managed to buy two bottles before noticing that they weren't still water)...babies do not need help making gas bubbles! We spent a quick night with the Teels before flying to ATL where we had lunch with Tiffany. After a few days rest with Alex and Sarah, we returned for a GREAT visit with Luke, Meg, and Maggie. Meg and I enjoyed being new Moms around each other, swapping advice and stories. The picture above was the cutest thing...Maggie reached out and grabbed Ollie's hand...so adorable. Maggie has a great personality for her four months of life...lots of laughter and she is a real people person already.
Maggie Grace was baptized in a beautiful ceremony at the First Presbyterian Church in Goldsboro. I was honored to be there as her Godmother, and I look forward to seeing Maggie again in a few weeks. Ollie and I were also able to see our good friends Paul and Mandy Birch...not nearly as much time was spent with them as I would have liked. You know its a good trip when you leave wanting to spend more time there.
Ollie and I are enjoying our time with the Grandparents, Aunt Becky, Uncle Chris, and cousins Alex and Sarah. Ollie manages to "tell" Alex and Sarah lots of things. They're really great with him and have a blast making faces and silly noises for him. We're blessed to have two great kids to play with. Can't wait for Baby Katie to arrive in mid-February!
We head off to New Orleans to see the Ingraham/Mackay sides of the family on Friday. We're looking forward to lots of photo ops and really good food. I'll post some more pictures when we return.
