lovely lovely...

we just spent the last week soaking up every minute that ryan had off. it felt like a small piece of heaven to have no agenda and to spend the whole week together as a family. we spent part of our time here and part of our time on the beach in south carolina. it was absolutely wonderful. lily could not have been happier to have her daddy to herself and to get to spend time with kathy and brandon as well. she was so content!



























and we were able to meet two beautiful new babies while on our trek. sadly, i was so excited to meet the sweet ones, that i neglected to bring my camera! but, it was so good to see you, preston and kristi and mike and kirsten. and we were so happy to meet eli and margaret! congrats!!
