Decker's First Trip

A week ago we took our first overnight trip. First we went down to mom and dad's for a baby shower for Decker and to help my parents celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary! Aunt Katie was able to come back from Chicago and we had lots of visitors for the shower. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of neat gifts as well!

Then Jeff went back to work and Decker and I headed down to Lake Thunderhead where Jeff's parents have a lake house. Jeff's mom and dad, the sister-in-laws and all 7 grandkids were down there. And I was really bad at taking pictures and didn't get a single one at the lake house. Luckily Patti and Kris took a bunch so hopefully will have some to post soon. It was a lot of fun but a little tiring to be gone for 6 days and 5 nights for our first trip from home. We were happy to get back home and see Jeff at the end of the trip!

Thanks to the gracious hostesses for the baby shower!

We got oysters for mom and dad since the 30th anniversary gift is pearls. Katie was teaching us all how to shuck them.
