We took Jack to the St. Patrick's Day parade on Thursday (Mimi kept Lucy with Granny Floyd..she did great! She was very happy and took two big naps for her). It was perfect weather and downtown was filled with people! Nannie dropped us off and picked us back up for the parade. That was amazing! Steven said his stress level dropped 1000 points once he knew we had a ride! Jack loved everything...but especially the marching bands! He got so excited every time he heard more music coming. He sat in the front with Maddy. She took good care of him and he is still talking about "Maddy being at the parade"! We got to see lots of friends and enjoy the beautiful day. We went back to Granny Floyd's house to spend the afternoon. We played outside, had a very yummy lunch, and visited with family. It was so nice!
Friday, everyone got in town for the Christening! Julie, Scott, Ansley, and Nunno & Poppa came out to Granny's house and we all walked to the tower with the kids. It was just magical! The weather was great, the view was amazing, and it was neat to have everyone there in a place that means so much to us (Steven and I were engaged at the tower and I grew up walking to the tower). We really enjoyed the time with friends. We sat up talking and laughing both Friday and Saturday night. Granny loved having a house full! 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 infants! WOW!
Saturday was another fairy tale. The weather was beautiful, the church was amazing and so many special people were there for Lucy's day. There were lots of people represented at the Christening. I wore Snookie's pearls (Snookie was my great great aunt that I was very close to and her name was Lucille), Lucy wore my mother's gold baby bracelet, Father Gavin wore Jack's silk stole during the ceremony, Lucy wore the Christening gown (59 years old) that was made for my Uncle Jack and everyone in the family has worn, and Lucy is one of many that were Christened at St. John's. (For those of you that don't know... My grandparents, parents, and Steven & I were married at St. John's..and all of us were Christened there including Jack) Ansley, Julie, and Scott are Lucy's Godparents and we feel so blessed to have them as a part of Lucy's life in such a special way. They each mean so much to us and we were honored for them to be there for Lucy.
Sally and John put on a fabulous party! Their yard and house looked fantastic and the food was to die for! Low country boil, chicken fingers, Orzo salad, cole slaw, lemon bars, cake bars, petit fors..yes, it was that good! It was lots of good visiting and relaxing! It was so fun! We ended the day with another walk to the tower with good friends. Jack and Caroline ran around one of the greens on the golf course and the babies enjoyed the nice weather!
We are happy to be home and settled again, but it was just such a great weekend. SOOOO many great memories and SO many pictures! It was great and thanks to all that did so much to make it special! We are really blessed!
