Beach 2008

Big difference from last year, she would not even get down because her feet would get dirty.

We went to the beach for a week. Needless to say we had a lot of help. Ava and Elyse did not go on the beach but Mackenzie loved the sand. There is no danger in Mackenzie drowning in the ocean, she could care less about that. She said she did not want to go in because "the waves are still coming". The twins just hung out at the house with great grandma and great aunt as babysitters. We did take them shopping one day. They did ok, although it was a lot of work. I saw a family with 5 year old girl and a set of twins(boy and girl) that were two and the boy was screaming strapped in the stroller. I guess that could be us in two years. We had a good time, when daddy got there we rode the ferry and went to the aquarium at Fort Fisher. Mackenzie had a good time. All in all we had fun. Then reality set in with Elyse having a fever on Sat. night which bought us a trip to the ER in Chapel Hill on Sunday with admission on Sunday night. Without going into detail she has a kidney infection and we got out of the hospital on Friday. We are finally trying to get back to normal this weekend. I am going to enjoy the next week with the girls because I go back to work on Aug. 6. Oh by the way Ava is a much happier child since a wonderful MD that I know called the pharmacy at the beach and started Ava on prevacid. She loves it and is a much happier baby, mommy too. Thanks.
