Susanna Cate is very loved by our family and friends! BeBe and PopPop (my parents--as named by Lydda Grace) were able to meet her right after she was born (they drove to Atlanta in the middle of the night when I called to say I was in labor!). Grandpa and Grandma (Mark's parents) and Uncle Wyn came to meet her when she was three days old. It was wonderful they were able to meet her when she was so young since they live so far away. Susanna Cate had both sets of her grandparents with her to celebrate her first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving indeed--we are so thankful for her and for all of our family and friends!

A HUGE "thank you" to our family, especially BeBe and Grandma, for taking such good care of us during our first week at home! BeBe and Grandma cooked and cleaned all week, and even cooked a great Thanksgiving feast for us. Thank you!!
Rebekah, Javier, and Isaac were in South Carolina for a wedding the day after Susanna Cate was born, so they were able to meet her the day we came home from the hospital. I was so grateful for Rebekah's encouragement--as a new mom herself she knew my worries and insecurities with a brand new baby and had exactly the right words to lift me up.
Meeting Isaac. Someday Isaac and Susanna Cate will be great friends and have tons of fun together. But right now, he looks SO much bigger than her. What a difference six months makes!

Susanna Cate met Aunt Emily, Uncle Jon, Lydda Grace and Wade, and Uncle Joel and Sean, via Skype. We can't wait to introduce her to Uncle Joel, Aunt Monica, and Sean in person in January! Then she will have to wait until the summer to meet Aunt Emily, Uncle Jon, LG and Wade. We will have many Skype visits before then--so thankful for the internet!

Susanna Cate has also met many of our friends. We are thankful for the encouragement and community of our friends in Atlanta!
Meeting Aaron and Caroline Swiger. Susanna Cate is hiding behind the Clemson onesie they brought her. It was a little big for her to wear for the Clemson vs. NC State game but she will wear it soon! :)
