Soooo....How long has it been?? Hmmmm...Let's just look over that issue and start with the good stuff :)!
Meet Mackay Nicolas.
Our Nephew.
A Bundle of Sweetness.
I Adore this Kid. Even from 2,000 Miles Away
He Melts My Heart.
Isn't he just the cutest little fella you've ever set eyes on? Well I obviously think so. He'll have a pretty interesting story to tell as he grows up :).
Remember this picture?
Many of you already know the whole story, but basically it all boils down to this. For most of the pregnancy Eason and Brittany thought they'd be having a little girl to love on and raise. Seth and I thought we would have a sweet, sassy, dramatic, but lovable little niece to spoil. The grandparents were ready to dress her up in smocks and cute monogrammed dresses.
Then January 14th arrived and Brittany delivered a very shocking but exciting surprise :). In the delivery room the doctor shouted out "It's a BOY". Eason did some jumping up and down, fist pumps, and shouting for the first little bit. Then he had to figure out how to tell the families. Shortly after they found out the news Mom called Seth and I to share with us. It was hard to believe the exciting news, but after seeing a picture and the evidence we knew we had a precious little nephew!
In February, Seth and I, were able to take a direct flight (amazing-I think all flights should of course be direct! and I hope all flights I take in the future will be direct!) to the Carolina's for a belated Christmas and a meet Mackay trip. I tried to be a photo-phan-atic while on this trip, so I'll share our trip with pictures.
Our first time meeting Mackay.
My hunchback Self with Ganma, Mackay, and Brittany.
After visiting with Brittany and Mackay most of the day, Seth and I headed out to Greenwood to spend the weekend with our Cook family. While in Greenwood we got to see some of our Buddies.
Due to my camera being a bit outdated, I didn't get a good one of the whole group :(, but I did get a few odd and end ones.
Jay & Cute Stephanie
Catherine & I.
Saturday we hung out with Seth's family. The guys went and played golf while us girls went out moseying around and shopping in Abbeville. It was a crisp, beautiful, sunny day.
Emily & I.
That evening we took family pictures.
Finally a Normal One :)!
Wheewww, and we've only gone through the weekend! It was a loaded trip, but very fun and much needed. Soooo, I'll conclude this post at that. I'll finish up our week and the rest of the photos SOON! I Promise!

Karla & Mrs. Cynthia.

A bearded one.
Facial Hair is kinda a big deal in this family. Mr. Jimmy's had one for a few months-but has had a mustache since I've known him. Seth's had one since November of 2009 (He grew it out after Emily & Trevor's wedding), Zach's one of the original bearded ones-coming back from New Mexico with a pretty thick Amish looking beard. Trevor's always had a beard on and off since I've met him. So, it was only a logical idea for us all to have beards in a family picture :).
