Mack's Sip and See


Jim's Parents, Bebe and Papa Trip, hosted a sip and see for family and friends in Greenville to meet Mack. It was so nice and so much fun! I am sad I did not take enough pictures. Thank you Bebe and Papa Trip for a great day in Greenville!

Cliff's friends, Heather, Paula and Aimee, I miss yall!


Mack Visits Mississippi!

Jim, Mack and I took off early last Friday morning for Lainey and Grumpy's house. Mack did great in the car ride and it only took us 8 hours instead of our usual 7. That night we had a family party for Mack to meet all his family and a few friends. Jim left on Sunday and me and Mack stayed for the rest of week. We had so much fun and I think Mack met just about everyone in Aberdeen. It was so great introducing him to so many special people.
Lainey also let me get lots of much needed rest as she took every single night feeding with a little help from Grumpy on those early morning feedings. It was great to get some sleep.

Here are many pics from our week!

Smile!


Mack is really starting to smile at us and make lots of new noises. It is amazing how fast he is growing. We go to his 6 week check up on Tuesday and I can't wait to find out all his stats.
My mom has been here this week helping us out lots. Jim and I got to have a date night and tonight we went to the gym together. Jim has been doing spinning class for the past couple months. I attempted to join him but wow, that is some hard stuff!

We will be leaving Mack overnight for the first time this weekend. Jim is in a wedding out of town. I am glad he will be in good hands with his Aunt Elizabeth, Bebe and Papa Trip.

We are off to Mississippi next week. I am anxious to see how Mack is going to do on the 7 hour car ride and also on our flight back. I am very nervous about flying with him by myself. Jim is driving us down and then we are staying the week and flying back. Mack can't wait to meet all his Mississippi family!
