baby & birthdays!

Last weekend we had the chance to see my brother in law, Joshua, and his awesome 8 1/2 month pregnant wife, Shelley. We are so so sooooo excited because they just moved to Atlanta! It is so nice to have them close!  We stopped to have dinner with them on the way to parents house on the 15th! The next day we were going to the Atlanta temple open house with a whole bunch of my family! So Friday after dinner we ended up going to the hospital because Shelley was in labor!! Adam & I were so grateful that we got to share that experience with them & welcome little Joel into the world! Thanks for letting us be there yall! :) After Joel was born we had the opportunity to go to the Atlanta Temple open house with about 35 of my family members for my grandma's birthday! My grandpa did such a fabulous job organizing this event for her! The look on her face when she walked in & saw everyone who came was priceless. She was so happy! The temple is still as beautiful as ever! It was even more special because it was a few days after our 2 year anniversary & we got to walk through & see where we got married! It was such a great weekend! We even got to see Adam's mom & dad! When we were on the way back to Augusta I was telling Adam how grateful & fortunate we are to have such an amazing family! We really are! Our family is SO awesome! :) love yall!
