Asheville Show

So every year, our work puts on this huge show in Asheville, NC.  It's our biggest event. Lots of preparation, people to talk to, homes to sell, etc. Well...all that becomes a liiiiiittle bit more difficult when you have a baby that is less than three months.  Thankfully, Grammy stepped up to the plate and helped us out more than we could ever hope for.
 

 
That Tuesday, we had a sort of pre-show prep. Thankfully my boss was more than willing to work with us, so we dragged our baby around the show all day long. This poor kid has put in more hours. He even attended our company-wide meeting with very important people, and he didn't make a peep!
 
On Tuesday evening, my mom ("Grammy") showed up to watch Baby Jace while Josh and I went out to entertain our retailers. It felt like date-night for us. It was awesome (but we missed Jace)! Mom spent the next two days watching Baby Jace at the hotel for us while we both worked. He had a blast :)
 
On Friday, I got a little bit of a break and headed down to Greenville to visit the family.  We had lunch with Aunt Kara at her school.  Jace's first day of class proved to be a success!  
 


 
That night, we had an awesome dinner and got to spend some quality time with the family in Greenville.



 
On Saturday, I had to head back up to Asheville with Josh for the show, and sweet Baby Jace got to spend the day with the Wheelers. They spoiled him rotten and bought him an exersaucer. Even though he could barely reach the floor, he loooved it :)
 
 
 
Sunday was our last day of work, and Jace had the honor of attending church with the Wheelers. It was such a special day because our nephew, Sam, got baptized. I absolutely hate that I missed it. Such a touching event, but I am so happy Jace got to be there to support him. We are so proud of you, Sammy!
 
 



That evening, Grammy brought Baby Jace back up to Asheville so we could head back home.

 
I really cannot even give enough thanks to my family for working with us throughout this week. It's so wonderful to have such great help when we really need it. Jace might not know where his home is, but he knows that he is loved by so many. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters :)
