Vacation - First Stop, Baby Lydia!

Ok, apologize for the delay but it's been quite busy lately. As you know we took a trip to Myrtle Beach and below is a shot of Dave helping us pack. After dragging the suitcases around he had to check them all out from the inside too.

We took the long way to the beach so I could get a baby fix and meet my new niece Lydia. Very much worth it!! She is of course beautiful and very tiny and sweet. I found it quite difficult to put her down and was tempted to just take her with me!

Livey was as captivated as I and spent some time holding her as well (when I could stand to give her up!) and did a very good job, she was very gentle. Dave was duly impressed as well but I was a bit worried when he started swinging the plastic golf club near her head. Fortunately he was quickly on his way with the toy stroller (as you can see in the upper corner of the picture) so I didn't have to do the Mommy Straight Jacket Hold on him.

Emma and Chloe were out with their grandparents that morning but we got to visit with them on the way back as well but I'm not sure at this point if I was taking pictures then.
