Vacation Pictures...Finally!!!

Here's a few pictures from our Southern road trip...

Nate and I had a great time on our vacation to South and North Carolina at the end of August. We started our trip in Sumter, South Carolina, where we met our adorable nephew Ethan and spent some time with my family. From Sumter we head to Charleston, SC...and had so much fun! We endured the hot, humid August weather...sight seeing around Charleston, eating awesome food, and shopping! Here I am on the pier along the harbor in Charleston and at a local lake in Sumter. Nate is enjoying a glass of wine at our bed and breakfast in Charleston and digging into some yuumy southern BBQ!




Here we are at Middleton Place, a plantation outside of Charleston, SC. This was such a beautiful spot! Nate and I went for wine tasting and dinner one evening and were able to wonder the grounds and take in the scenery...and the food was amazing. Here's a pic of our bed and breakfast, The Battery Carriage House. It was one steet west of the ocean and we stayed in a cozy little room that opened onto the gardens on the lower level of the house. It's a huge, beautiful old Southern house!







From Charleston, we headed to Myrtle Beach, SC for a few days. While there, we visited with Nate's cousin Renee and her boyfriend Adam (sorry I don't have a picture with them). Nate enjoyed golfing while I soaked up some of the sunshine. From Myrtle Beach we headed to Wilmington, NC, to visit our friend Steve. Here is a pic of he and Nate...although we had to help Steve pack up his apartment and move, we still have a ton of fun.

New Camera, No Pictures :(

So I got a fancy new camera for my birthday and have taken a ton of pictures from our vacation to South Carolina and tailgating, but unfortunatley I can't post any of them. Our very old computer thinks it doesn't have a CD drive any longer, so I can't figure out how to get the camera software onto it so I can download all my pictures. Neither Nate or I know how to fix this problem, so until I get a new computer I can't post any pics. BOO!

But I do have some pictures that others have been sending me...check out how big our nephew is getting! We can't wait to see him soon.

Welcome Baby Ethan!

As many of you already now, we have a new nephew, Ethan Zachary Kallenberg! Ethan was born August 14, 2008, at 2:32pm weighing in at 8lbs. 9oz. and 21 inches long! Rachel did an amazing job...she was strong, focused and determined. I was able to be in the delivery room for his birth and it was awesome. He is so cute!

We spent a few weeks enjoying the hot, humid South Carolina weather visiting and getting to know our new godson. We were also able to spend some time touring around the state...sight seeing and visiting friends and family in Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Wilmington, NC. More pics of our vacation to follow soon.

Before bed, after his bath and tummy time. He's already loving the camera!
