ER Trip #4

I think we are ER trip #4. Chris and I counted them up and we think we got them all.

Meggie swallowed a paperclip. We called our pediatrician and were sent to the ER because she needed an x-ray to confirm the clippy went into her stomach and not her lungs.

Here is Meggie in the triage room.

Enjoying all of the attention!

Being sweet with Daddy.

The clippy came out this morning. So, we are in the clear. Note to self: no more playing with paperclips!

We are very fortunate to be within five miles of the 3rd ranked Children's hospital in the country. At least we know our kiddos will always be very well cared for!

Hilton Head- Day 1

The little family headed down to Hilton Head Island for our first beach vacation!

Here the girls are in the car. Snuggled in and ready for the drive!

The umbrellas on the beach. We rented one of those umbrella/chair combos where Meggie and I spent quite a bit of time.

On the first day Chris spent 10 hours (no joke!) digging a big hole and building a sand castle. Ellie liked to "help" but I think she destroyed more than she built.

Ellie hard at work, carrying a bucket full of something (maybe water?).

Or, Maybe sand?

This was right after she destroyed some of the retaining walls...I thought it was pretty funny...
