The Beach and A Baptism

At the beginning of June we headed down to SC for a much needed get-a-way for the week.  We joined up with our good friends Jenny and Danny, her mom and their two little ones.  So I guess you can say we were really invading on their family vacation.  We had a great time!  We had never been to this part of SC before so it was great getting to go somewhere new.

This was the view from our condo.  To the left is the ocean and all together it was about a 3 minute walk to get there.  Needless to say all that goes into spending the day on the beach with a 15 month old can be kind of exhausting so we didn't spend too much time down there.

But we did spend plenty of time at the pool.  Squeaks was a little frightened of both the ocean and pool when she first got in but she got over it quick and had a ball in both!!

We also visited a stable/petting zoo where you could take pony rides.  Other than it being about a 100 degrees outside, we enjoyed that.  Kenley was a little weary of the much bigger animals but I did get her pretty close to the friendly deer that roamed free through the grounds.

This past Sunday we finally got the girl Baptized!!!  What can I say but that it brought tears to both of our eyes and she was a perfect angel!!!  I thought for sure when Hedge came and took her out of Jim's arms we were going to have a screaming child on our hands.  But she didn't scream, she didn't cry, she just looked at Hedge, studied his face while he poured water on her head and kept checking him out even after she was handed back to Jim.

Kenley had a behavioral hearing test last Tuesday and she passed with flying colors!!!  Lets just say I didn't have any worries with my girls hearing to begin with...the last time she was at the Developmental clinic, our doctor told us that they like to give this test to all babies born before 32 weeks.  No fluid in her ears and everything looked clear and she passed the test!! 

Our big appointment is coming up in August and I'd be lying if I didn't say I thought about it every day.  Not bad thoughts but I think I'm ready for it to happen.  I caught a lady starring at her yesterday, yes an adult, and it kind of ticked me off.  It's one thing when little kids stare but an entirely different thing when an adult stares.  I wanted to say to her, "Were you wondering what that thing was on her face?  If you were I would be more than happy to tell you what it is."  Thank goodness K doesn't know the difference right now and it will be removed before she'll ever know the difference.  Some people have no manners.

Not too much longer and her bump will be no more!!

I'm sure I'll look back at these pictures one day and have a hard time believing it ever existed.
