Under Construction

My wonderful, sweet, beautiful and most awesome sister in the whole wide world is re-designing my blog. Please bear with the mess and check back soon to see the New and Improved McAulay family blog!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend we went to Virginia to camp with Chris' family. We love camping and had a great time. Garrett was extremely happy and Chris was definitely in his element. We even beat out the rain until Sunday night. This camp site had a ton of things for the kids to do. I think that the waterslide was fun for EVERYONE. Looking forward to going back, with our new addition to the family.

A Big Fish

We went down to Summerville a few weeks ago to visit Jen, Ricky, and Sophie. On Saturday, Ricky, Eric (Ricky's dad), Chris and Garrett went out on the boat to go fishing. Garrett was super excited and caught his first fish, with the help of Ricky. Here are some pictures!

Swimming Lessons

Garrett has begun swimming lessons at the YMCA. He has already been through 2.5 classes (we had to leave early on Tuesday due to a thunderstorm). So far he is doing well and has started putting his eyebrows in the water.

BIG NEWS

We are happy to announce that we are expecting our second child March 5. This puts Amy 8 weeks pregnant. She just went for a viability ultrasound today and we were able to hear/see the heartbeat, which makes us feel so much better about telling people. Garrett is excited and when asked if he wants a little brother or little sister, 90% of the time it is little brother. We are ecstatic and feel very blessed. Here is a picture of the ultrasound from today:

Mike and Sarah got married!

It is official. Mike and Sarah are married. Amy cooked the groom and his men a hearty breakfast the day of the wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and we were lucky that so many family members were able to join us for the celebration. Sarah looked radiant and Mike was very daper. Here are some pictures from the event. Unfortunately some of them didn't turn out as well which means one thing: we need a new digital camera.

Big Summer

We have been quite busy this past month. We are pleased to welcome Sophie Elizabeth to our family. Jen did awesome and Amy was very excited and honored to be with her during the labor and birth. Sophie is absolutely beautiful. We just spent the weekend down there and Garrett got to meet and hold his new cousin. He was rather impressed. We spent the week at Myrtle Beach with Chris' family. We had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect. The Bowens came up for the day and all the boys, and their friends, were excited to play with Garrett and Camryn. Garrett loved the beach, especially the water. The bigger the waves the happier the Garrett. Saturday night was Sarah's Bachelorette Party thrown by her maid of honor, Lauren. We had a blast. The mexican inspired theme was definitely appropriate for getting Sarah ready for her and Mike's honeymoon to Mexico.
