Family ties

Here are some pictures of Peyton meeting some of his family members for the first time and others of fa,ily just enjoying each other. We've had a great first few weeks of his life, getting to spend some time with family and friends. As you can see, everyone's had a ball!

Nanda & Pippy's 3 grands playing together

Addison driving William around on the train

Uncle Brad & Aunt Tara came to visit when Peyton was 1 week old. Aunt Leslie & Uncle Jeff visited in the hospital when he was 2 days old, but I didn't get any pictures!!

Proud grandparents

Jordyn (practically family) holding Peyton. Looks like he's relieved with his hand on his head.

Blaine & She She (again, practically family) holding the little man on the day he was born [even with his Clemson hat on!]



Great-grandma Jackson holding that sweet baby for the first time

Mema with her 4th great-grandchild...

Look how happy William is!

End of summer fun

Here's some pictures of some fun times at the end of summer that I neglected to post about. Still playing catch up!

Enjoying her Ariel slip and slide!

Painting Mommy's nails

What a great manicure I'm getting!

Jason took Addison to the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC while I was at a 2-day workshop. They had a blast, especially on the dinosaur trail and train ride.

Uncle Brad took us all to Fuji Family Day at the Greenville Drive Baseball game. It was a lot of fun!

Yummy hot dogs before the game

We went to the annual festival in York, called Summerfest. It was hot, but lots of fun!

What a great summer we had!

Love at first sight

Here's some pictures of my darlings, who thankfully, adore each other right now. I know that won't last long, so here's some shots to savor.

She LOVES to kiss, hug, and hold him often.

My two little tigers

Now that's what I call relaxed!

So sweet!

He loves his bath now that he can get down in the water.

What a handsome fella!

Celebrating Peyton

We had some very nice baby showers to celebrate Peyton's upcoming arrival and I hadn't posted any pics from those yet, so here they are. I must have forgotten my camera for the first shower, which was given by my friends Angela and Deb, so I don't have any pictures from that one.

The first set of pictures is from the shower given by Jason's coworkers at Dutchman Creek Middle School, where he started working at the beginning of this school year.

What an awesome cake!

These next ones are from the cookout shower that our best friends Sheila and Blaine gave us at their house. What a fun night!
