A few I couldn't resist sharing

Just a few cute pictures of Jack after his bath the other day...

Christmas Parade

We went to downtown Clemson tonight with some of our friends to enjoy the Christmas parade and the Christmas tree lighting. Although downtown isn't very big, it consists of one street, for some reason we were expecting the tree to be a lot bigger than it really was. We were all looking around for this large Christmas tree, when we realized that it was a tree that is smaller than the ones that people put in their homes. Well, we missed the actual lighting, but we still took a picture in front of it, and we enjoyed a pretty good parade to kick off the Christmas season.

Turkey Day!!

We had a great Thanksgiving! We spent it with my sister Adrienne and her family, and some of our extended family in Tennessee. We drove out Tuesday evening and stayed until early Saturday morning. Adrienne and her family followed us to South Carolina to see where we live and we were lucky to have them spend the night with us. Steve took my brother in law, Erick, and nephew, Tyler, to the Clemson vs South Carolina game. We had to leave Tennessee a little early to make it back in time, but I was glad we made it, because it was a great game and the boys had a fun time! Here are some pictures from our turkey day and our visit with my sister and her family.

2 Weeks...

Here are a few more pictures of little Jack!! We think he's pretty cute!!

I like this picture because it shows his hair. I love how it sticks straight up right at the crown of his head!

The First Week

Sorry it's taken me so long to post... but here are a few pictures from the past week. Now that he's here, there will be more pictures to come...

Ready to come home from the hospital

His first nap in his bed

Ready for his first doctor's appointment

How sweet is he??!!

Don't worry, Steve already introduced him to College Football Saturday. (he's watching his daddy's team, Clemson)

He loves having his hands by his face.. I love watching him sleep!!

Steve's mom, Grandma Nan, came out to be with me while Steve was out of town the week before he was born. Since he was about a week early, it worked out that she was able to be here for it. We were glad she was able to be here to see him. Thanks for all the help!

My mom, Nana, came out the Saturday after he was born to help!! We are glad she is here and able to spend time with us and Jack. Thanks for all the help with everything!!
Jack and his new friend Gus. Along with the proud fathers, Steve and Greg. Greg and Steve are in the program together. His wife, Allice, had Gus at the end of September. It will be fun to watch them grow up together!

He's Here!!
