Trip to Atlanta

Well, last weekend we were back on the road - this time just Reed and me for a weekend in Atlanta. We stayed at "Grandma Kay' s" house, and saw a lot of family & friends.

Playing w/ Grandma

This floor gym was money well spent...he will just lay there and giggle and kick his feet and wave his arms all around!

Bath time with Aunt Sara and Mommy...Reed managed to kick the plug out of the bottom of the baby bath tub and we flooded the counter...whoops! Grandma didn't get mad though because grandkids can do no wrong :)





Ashley and I went to a huge consignment sale in Decatur on Friday. Then we stopped by to see April who lives nearby. We had a fun lunch and some girl time. At the time of the visit, April was very pregnant, 3 days past her due date. We teased her and said we'd send her into labor. Well, sure enough -- WE DID! April went into labor LATE Friday night, early Saturday morning. She had the baby on Saturday evening. (Picture further below!)

April & Taylor (that's the tu tu and pinwheel I gave her!)

Taylor took this picture of Reed and me - sorry for all the double chins :)

My little sleepy head

Taylor really liked Reed's carseat and his toy -- Reed slept through it all (thank goodness!)

Sweet Taylor - who calls me "Beck Beck" -- she's growing so fast - she'll be turning 2 in a couple of weeks!

FAMILY GET TOGETHER - THORNTON'S

On Saturday night, we had a family dinner at Mom and Randall's house with the Thornton side of the family. It was great to see everyone and for them to meet Reed. Mom made some delicious lasagna!My cousin Stephen & Reed

Aunt Sara (can you tell she's a proud aunt?!?)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST...I went visit April in the hospital on Sunday before coming back to South Carolina. It was so nice to meet sweet baby Lily.
Congratulations Apri & Brian!
