Trip to Cajun Country

We've been wanting to bring Charlotte to Lafayette, Louisiana for awhile now. All of Drew's family lives there and they have been waiting patiently to meet Miss C. With the holidays around the corner after her birth, we haven't been able to schedule anything until now.

We woke up early Saturday and started the 4 hour drive. We arrived soon after lunch and went straight to Drew's Grandfather's house. Pop was so excited to meet Charlotte! He had just gotten back from Abu Dhabi and they gave her the cutest little stuffed camel and a Hard Rock Dubai shirt :) We ate lunch and just sat around visiting while they held Charlotte. She was very fussy from the car ride but after a nap snuggled up with me she was much happier.

After visiting with Pop all afternoon, we headed over to Drew's Aunt & Uncle's house to visit with the Dueitt side of the family. Drew's cousin, Jake and his wife Heidi had baby Jude 3 weeks before Charlotte was born. It was soooo fun to get these little cousins together! Drew's cousin, Jett and his wife Angelle are expecting a baby girl in July so we were thrilled to give them hugs & words of excited encouragement on the soon arrival of a new girl cousin! Charlotte will have so much fun at family gatherings from now on with all these little cousins her age :)

We stayed with Drew's cousin, Laci and her husband Chris and their son Ryler. Ryler turned 2 in December and was IN LOVE with Charlotte! When she would fuss or cry he would pat her little cheek and say "It's okay Baby Charlotte." He also kept saying her name..."Charlotte Grace...Charlotte Grace" but it mostly sounded like "Charwhat Gwace." :)
Ryler and C..such a great big cousin!



We woke up Sunday and headed over to Drew's Grandmother's house. We ate breakfast, sat around and of course played with C. Gro-Mom loved Charlotte and it was special to introduce her to her THIRD Great-Grandmother.
