family.

Lately, I've been overwhelmed with thanksgiving. I am especially thankful for the huge number of family and friends who have surrounded us and our baby boy with so much love. Our family has sacrificed their vacation time, driving and flying long hours just to come and hang out with us. Lucas has gotten to meet so many people who love him so much already! Here are some highlights:

Lucas with his Nana, my mom

Lucas with his Poppy, my dad

Lucas with his Nanny Farrin and Oliver

Lucas with his Uncle Jon and Aunt Kelsey

Lucas with Kyre (who came all the way from Louisiana to meet him!)

Lucas with Lexi, his favorite pup

Lucas with his MiMi, Brandon's mom

Lucas with his Papa, Brandon's dad

Lucas with his Aunt Sis, Brandon's sister Stephanie (who flew up from Florida to meet him!)

Lucas with his Granny, Brandon's grandmother (who took a train from Florida to meet him!)

Lucas with his MawMaw and PawPaw, my grandparents (who drove up from Louisiana to meet him!)

We are so very thankful for these people who have traveled far from home from Asheville, Charlotte, Louisiana, and Florida to love on us, and for so many more who aren't pictured yet. Come on to Durham, y'all. You know you want to squeeze those cheeks!
