The Great 8


Pi Phi Consultants 2004- we look so young!

So, when I graduated from the University of Arkansas- my first job was as a Resident Leadership Development Consultant for my fraternity, Pi Beta Phi.  I lived in Raleigh, NC and started a new chapter at NC State University.  The other 7 consultants traveled the U.S. & Canada to consult with chapters all over, and in this short time period, we became such an incredibly tight knit and close group of friends.  We are a diverse group from all over- Arkansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Nevada, Virginia, Connecticut, Ohio, & Toronto.  We try to get together at least once a year.  This year, 5 of us were able to gather in Charleston for a weekend in a home on Kiawah Island.
The group on our last day- yes, that is me in my pjs- great look, I know....
Parker was a great traveler, as usual
We had a GREAT time, as always.  We really missed the 3 girls who couldn't make it, but it's always a highlight of my year when we get together.  Spence and Parker made the trip, as Katie's husband & 7 month old, J.P. did as well.
Until he pooped all through his outfit, onto his car seat, and up his back.    He literally giggled the entire time I was changing him- I was not giggling :)
The girls threw us a surprise baby shower for Parker- we received some PRECIOUS outfits and other gifts
Parker LOVED Miss Joan- she was so great at entertaining him!
Oriana gave Parker his first swim trunks and matching hat- perfect for our first pool time- he LOVED it!!
Hanging out with our buddy, JP! (& his mommy Katie)
Miss Oriana swimming with Parker- he was pretty chill in the water 
Spence took us to see the Ocean Course- it is absolutely beautiful!
The Club House- this is the course for the 2012 PGA Championship.  A spectacular place.  Spence & Brett played the back 9 on Saturday

Erin & Oriana

Erin & Ori got to meet Parker for the first time!
My dear friends, Erin & Oriana, came to stay a night with us before we all went to Charleston for the weekend.  Erin is from Richmond, VA and Oriana came all the way from Toronto, Canada!  We loved having our friends visit- and they were great help to us with bed and bath time.
Bath time in the kitchen
He LOVES bathtime- note the water on my shirt- you should have seen the floor- it was a disastrous mess of water!
Erin with Parker- she is a NICU nurse, so has great experience with babes
