mommy, daddy and caroline

both sides of our families graciously decided to vacation right outside of charleston this year at folly beach so i wouldn't have to travel almost 9 months pregnant :) my family started off by coming first and we had a blast. the weather was a little cool, but made the days on the beach very pleasant. sarah, luke and caroline are at such great ages and had a blast playing together and making cousin memories. precious little andrew just sat around looking adorable and making me excited about my baby coming. my parents, sis and brother-in-law made it such a restful week for me by helping me with caroline. i barely had to do anything. my parents stayed a few extra days and worked like dogs helping us with stuff around the house that needed to be done before baby arrives. one of the highlights of the week was that papa brought the big girl bed he made for caroline. it's gorgeous!!! caroline loves it and sleeps like a log in her princess bed. it's exactly what i pictured for her and will be a treasure forever b/c of all the work and love papa put into it for caroline. we still have stuff to do in her room to finish it up, but we're getting there. here some pixs of caroline's bed and our time at the beach :)
