Beachin'

The week at the beach was great. The weather cooled down for us a bit and the water was just cool enough to feel good after sitting in the sun. Casey even got down to the beach to lay out...under the umbrella of course.

Friday we went out for a birthday dinner for Lois at Frost Seafood house...where they presented her with a bday piece of homemade Key Lime Pie. After dinner we went to Lost Treasure Adventure Center to ride the go-carts and bumper boats. Lisa & Morganne and Tracy & Ashlynne wasted Stan in the go-carts...his single car was SO slow...but he did do a nice job blocking when we would let him take the lead. The bumper boats were crazy. Morganne was the sprayer in Tracy's boat and Lisa was the sprayer in Ashynne's boat...Stan was solo yet again. Needless to say, we all came out a little soaked. We followed up the rides with some yummy ice cream! Casey was an angel the whole night, even ate her entire bottle for Gramma Lois.

Saturday morning was check out day. After a hardy breakfast at Hardees it was time to leave Emerald Isle. Lisa, Ashlynne, Morganne and Max headed back to Richmond to finish up the last of their packing and then they're off to Boca Raton!! Stan and Lois drove Tracy and Casey to the airport then drove back to Roanoke. The flight was good, although Casey caught the cold I had all week and wasn't feeling that great. She spit up on me twice on the flight...big spit ups too. She seems to be feeling a little better today, but she has been very sleepy after all her travels.

We hang in Colorado this week. Stan flies in Thursday. We all drive to VA this weekend for a 3 week visit.

Casey is now 9.5 lbs and 22 inches long. She is very smiley and almost seems to be laughing a little. She can also stand (while being held of course). She straightens her long legs and pushes to keep herself standing. She's still sleeping and eating well. She eats anywhere from 2-3.5 oz when fed from a bottle. She has her 2 month doctor's appt this Thursday...where she will be getting some shots:(

Enjoy the pix.
