One latest and fun memory from China... a surprise Baby Shower for our little girl!! If you can believe it, no one even sent out the grey shirt memo....

This was a beautiful spot for a wedding rehearsal.

Everyone loves Uncle Tim!
Rehearsal Dinner at Paula Dean's!
The food was so good.
Me, Phil & Nat... the JOY of siblings!!
Uncle Otch, Aunt Mo, Paul & John also made the long trip. It was so nice to spend time with them.
Phil & Danielle getting baptized in the hotel's outdoor pool the night before their wedding. It was so special!!
The old is gone, the new has come!!
The Wedding Day is finally here! The girls had pictures taken outside... it was SO HOT! This is Hadassah thinking she's hugging mom's leg. :)
Danielle looked so beautiful in her dress. This might be the only picture of her that I got that day :( Maybe if I had two more hands...)
Sister, Sister

After a couple nights in Savannah, we drove to Hilton Head, SC. We were so blessed that our friends Tom & Lauren came to visit with their baby Kristen. They are such a sweet family!!
We spent a day at the beach before our trip home.
What a gorgeous day!
I love this picture... Auntie Nat & Viv
Gampy & Dass
Dinner at Crabby Crab's in SC. Yummy!

Sammy, what happened to your gum ball?
Lily & Todd, Danielle's dad- notice the Packer hat!! He is so fun to be around and the kids wouldn't leave his lap!
Lily & Suzanne, Danielle's mom- what a peach! She is so sweet and the kids just love her.
We had to eat lunch at least once at Cracker Barel on the way home since there are hundreds of them along the way.
A fancy hotel we stayed in on the way home thanks to price-line. They are preparing to host the next super bowl- everything was totally decked out.
Our first day "home" from Georgia! We are all so glad to not be sitting in a car... though the trip was a blast.
Hadassah is 3! Happy Birthday!
She had a blast choosing from all the dollies at Toys R Us.
Thrilled or not about the pink dolphin birthday cake she's been talking about for a month??
We celebrated with Nat and her kids by spending the day at the Y!!
There's a really sweet "Splash Pad" we played in and also about a 3 ft pool the kids swam in.
Once again, don't over-do your reaction to the gifts!! That's my Dassah. On the inside she was beaming :)
GG & Gampy & the kids and I spent a few days at their cabin in Surring. It was so beautiful! (Until Lil got sick :( )
Lily with Jake. They were best buds all weekend.
The river water felt like ice cubes!! I think Hadassah loved it the most. Our "swim" if you can call it that was really refreshing!
Caedmon's first attempt at lighting a match thanks to Gampy's help
Lil taking a snooze
shhh
My 36th/37th week picture. This girl is getting big!
Another trip to Peabody Park
My first visit to Theda Clark Hospital where baby Golackson #5 will be born! (This is also where my mom works as a lactation consultant. It was so fun to see her office and meet some of her friends!)
Silas & Viv enjoying a swing at Erb park, where I played when I was little!
The day Josh returned home from Florida, the kids and I spent the day at Bear Lake with Gampy. Caedmon's new nickname is "Cannonball Cade."
We love cousins!
I thought Vivi was sleeping for two hours like any other day until I heard a rattling on the bedroom doorknob. UH OH! She did not crawl out of her bed! I opened the door to find my make-up bag contents scattered all over the floor and to find a pink girl from head to to with lipstick!
Josh's parents Ye ye and Nai nai came to visit over 4th of July weekend!! We were so happy for their visit!! (Mimi and Papa (more grandparents, yeay!) also came to visit but we forgot to take any pics :( )
They brought some awesome treat bags from cousin Nathan's first birthday party.
lot's of kickball and baseball went on in the back yard
We are hoping for another visit again soon!!!
