We were leaving our house one night and looked up to see this beautiful crane.

We left for Hilton Head on Thursday, July 23rd. We stayed in a hotel until our house was ready on Saturday. It was really nice to have those two extra days down there. Jason, Karrie, Ian and Brady stayed with us the whole time. Then Josh, Melissa and Nicholas came down to join us late Friday night. We had a great time as usual. Hilton Head is the best.

We have a pool in the back yard of our house so we only visit the beach a couple of times. When the kids get a little older, it will be easier to do the beach. Laney loved the ocean, especially eating the sand. We decided it was hopeless to keep trying to dig it out of her mouth. Carter also loved the ocean. He had a great time in the waves and built a big turtle in the sand. Luckily, both of our kids love the pool so that is where we stayed most of the time.

Laney turned 10 months down there. She is wanting to walk so badly but just falls down and starts to crawl. Being around all of those big kids made her want to walk but she couldn't quite get the hang of it.
We got most of Carter's school clothes down there. He is ready to start kindergarten. We will update on how that goes.
