What I did on my summer vacation...

Caroline, Kevin and I are home and (somewhat) unpacked from our extended vacation in NC. Caroline and I were there for 8 weeks. We had weddings, family reunions, concerts, etc. to attend and because Kevin was out of Atlanta doing clinicals, and since gas prices are outrageous we decided to just go up and stay. I am so glad we did. I got to see family and friends, Caroline had playdates and grandmas to spoil her, and Kevin was able to come and see us when he had a free weekend. The best part about all of this is that Kevin is done traveling with his clinicals. He drove home with us on Sunday. It feels really good to know that he doesn't have to leave us again. The weird part is he will actually be home every night for dinner. I don't know what to do with myself. I can actually make dinner instead of just sandwiches or cereal.
As I am editing some pictures from this summer I thought I would share them with everyone and some great stories also. Here it goes:

As soon as we got to NC we went to Atlantic Beach with Tanya and Brian. We had the best time. I actually got to read 2 books while there. Caroline had a ball. Every morning she would wake up and ask for the beach. This is a picture of our drive there. When you cross over the bridge you have to roll your windows down and smell the salt air.

Caroline loves her Aunt B (BaBeez)!

After we got back from Atlantic Beach we had a few weeks to play and have fun with family and friends. The coolest part was when Kevin surprised us and drove to NC for a weekend that I wasn't expecting him. That meant a lot.

One of the reasons that I went to NC was to help my BF Jenn get ready for her wedding in SC. Caroline was supposed to be a flower girl, but more about that later. Jenn and I drove to SC to order the cake, arrange locations, etc. Caroline of course came with us and was great the whole time.

If we ever needed to get some work done, all we had to do was give Caroline some crayons, and paper and she was golden.

While we were ordering the cake, Caroline turned into a copycat.

Caroline turned two while we were home but we decided to have her party after the wedding when Kevin could be there. We decided to have a little bit of cake for her on her actual birthday though. I can't believe my girl is getting so big.

We don't know where she gets this face from.

In August we traveled to SC for Jenn and Mayo's wedding. It was so much fun being there with friends for a great event. Mama and Tanya came with me to help with Caroline. I am so glad they did because I would not have been able to photograph the wedding without them. Ok, so Caroline was supposed to be the flower girl but we weren't sure if she would do it. Even the groomsmen took bets on if she would make it down the aisle. Enjoy some of these pics and I will give you the outcome at the end.

Caroline got some cute gifts from Aunt Jenn and Uncle Mayo

The crowd sang "Sweet Caroline" to my girl! She loved it.

So Caroline gets to the door of the ceremony and freaks out. She begins crying and Tanya has to take her out so, no, she didn't make it down the aisle. Bruce won $5. But she still looked cute.

OK, I have to pause here...More to come...
