Haleigh's Journey

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.(Psalms 127:3-5 ESV)

Trip to Raleigh NC/Myrtle Beach Day 1

As some of you may know, Haleigh does not travel well by car.  So in order to make our 8 hour trip to South Carolina a little less stressful, we made a pit stop in Raleigh North Carolina.  We spent the afternoon in the pool of the hotel which Haleigh loved!  I will post a few pics for you to enjoy.  This morning we woke up early and started the last 3 hours to Myrtle Beach!  She did so well on the trip.  We were in the home stretch with about 53 miles to go and Haleigh decided she wanted to blow poo from her diaper!  EWWW!  We had to stop on the side of the road to clean up.  It was everywhere and she didn't seem to mind at all!  Silly girl!  After clean up we finished the ride in and met up with my brother and his family.  Haleigh was super excited to see her cousin Jessica.  When you see the pictures, keep in mind that Jessica is only 6 months older than Haleigh.  This will give you all an idea of how small she really is. 
Day one was so fun!  We took the girls to Build A Bear.  Haleigh adopted "Tilly the Tiger".  He is now the newest member of our family.  She is cuddled up next to him right now.  After Build a Bear we came back to the condo to get settled in a bit then we took the girls to the beach.  Haleigh is definitely a water baby, as soon as we put her in the tide pool she ate a fist full of sand and didn't seem to mind. LOL! She didn't stay in the water very long because she gets cold very easily.  After swimming cousin Jessica was feeding her in her exersaucer!  Yummy!
It seems to us she had a very fun first day.  She just went to bed at around 9 which is VERY unusual for her.  She passed right out of course. 










We are having trouble uploading pics right now.  The connection isn't very good.  We will post them as soon as we can.
