This picture was from the Relay for Life in Camden a while back but it's a good one I think!We went to Jamaica for our vacation this year. We had always planned on doing something big for our 5th anniversary...ok having a baby WAS big but that's not what I'm talking about...so we decided to do an early anniversary trip (since August will be all about baby G!)
We went back to Sandals Whitehouse on the south west cost of Jamaica. (first visit there was October of 2005. this particular resort opened February 2005)
I took this picture just for you Renee! Thought you would like it! That's a coconut rum drink in a real coconut!
We went scuba diving for the first time while we were there. Very cool. I recommend it to anyone who can figure out how to slow your breathing down when your heart is pounding in your chest. Incredible experience!
Welcome home mommy and daddy! My wonderful parents kept Gretchen while we were away. Looks like the mouse played! (get it, the mice will play when the cat's away...ok, I laughed!)
I'm hungry, when do we eat!
Hanging out with Granddaddy at Gretchen's great-great-great grandparent's home (they went to the Kirkpatrick family reunion...I hate we missed it!) in Clyde, NC.
Mom put her to work churning butter while she skinned the chickens!Last weekend we went to Camden to get Gretchen, but also to attend my 10 year high school reunion. First let me say...WHAT? Ten years? It can't be. But we did have a great time, even if Dave knew only two people :)
We spent part of Father's Day (happy father's day to all of you dads and dads to be!) hanging at the lake. This is the only picture I have of Gretchen's top two teeth. She has the bottom middle ones and the two you see here. It's too funny!
Happy Father's Day Dave! Thank you for all you do! We love you!All in all, I think we all had great vacations!

oh my gosh - im totally jealous of your vacation. i wish i could get a WEEKEND somewhere and i know my parents would keep polly - but oh my... a week, with rum drinks, on an island... WOW. did you talk about gretchen the whole time?
great pictures and great updates. thanks for giving me something to look forward to! maybe at Christmas.
Love the pictures--and the one of y'all with the sunset in the background is AMAZING!!
And I'm with Rhett. I'm so jealous! We did manage to make it to see Iron Man on our anniversary, but that doesn't really stack up...
How fun! I'd be nervous and thinking about the baby the whole time (I suppose that means I need some time away from her). I love the picture of Gretchen in the high chair with the spoon.
I'm glad you guys had a good time on your trip! The pictures really came out great and I can't believe you guys went scuba diving, did you see anything good?
I love the picture of Gretchen in her high chair. She looks like she is impatiently awaiting the arrival of her cousin ;-) Soon enough...
The pictures are great. I too wish I/we could get a way. One day maybe. Gretchen is growing so fast.
These are fabulous pictures - I love the one of you and Dave with the sunset. And I love how bored G looks in her high chair. :-) I'm so glad that you had a great time, even though I am very jealous of you. :-)
Okay, its been a month. I think we need a Gretchen update...at least a few new pictures!
