First Road Trip




Over the past weekend, we had our first road trip to visit family in Hayti. Evelyn did very well considering it took about 3 hours to get there. She only fussed a little towards the last hour of the trip. Once there, we had the chance to visit with extended family from Tennessee and Arkansas. On Saturday, Rob and I were once again overwhelmed by the love and support of our family and friends at a baby shower hosted by the women at First Baptist Church of Hayti. The Lord has truly blessed our family with such special and wonderful people. Of course, Evelyn was the hit of the shower. She just laughed and smiled as everyone spoke of how sweet and cute she is (which her mommy and daddy already knew because we are biased)! It was a wonderful time. Perhaps the most special moment of the weekend was when Evelyn met Rob's grandmother, whom she is named after. It was such a joy to see Grandma's face light up when she saw Evelyn at the nursing home. Of course, she had to have all the nurses stop in to see her great granddaughter!
