Too cold for the beach...

Well, it was only 72 degrees today (quite a change from Friday), so we skipped out on the beach and hit the pool. Here are some pics from the day...

This is the beach house from the back...it's three stories, four bedrooms, three bathrooms

This is the pool in the backyard with the waterslide.

We finished the day with a friendly game of ping pong

A few pics from the beach

Today we did a lot of swimming in the pool in the backyard. We did make a short trip down to the beach after we all showered. Nick took a pic I really like so I thought I would post it. I will take lots more tomorrow...stay tuned

I am dying!

Today in Virginia it wasx 103 degrees and 85% humidity. It's one of those hots where you walk outside and you could have sworn you just took a shower because you are dripping wet. It is very humid here. The kids played in the water most of the day in the backyard. Tomorrow we are off to the beach. We will take some pics soon.....

Grandma Ray.....

I had to post this picture because it brings a smile to my face every time I see it. This is me and my sister Julie and my favorite person in the world, my Grandma Ray. She passed away when I was 7 months pregnant with Ambria, and never had the chance to meet her first granddaughter. I still think that day has to be the saddest day of my life.

I loved that woman! She was so much like me, so full of fire and spunk. I remember she watched our house while we went on vacation to Hawaii and my dad asked her "mom, how are you going to get up and down the stairs" and she said "I don't know Craig, but I will just go down on my bum!". What a wonderful person she was!

PS don't mind Mc'Donalds in the background....quick dinner!

Adios Muchachos!!!

Tomorrow is the big day when we fly out to Virginia. Friday we are going to Busch Gardens and Saturday it's off to the beach house. Hope you all have a nice 2 weeks because there will most likely not be any posts from this chick!

SEE YA!

Olivia Betty Bailey

She's here! After 9 months of waiting to find out, Chrissy is thrilled for her new little girl. She has a full head of dark hair and is alert as can be. Welcome to the world little Bailey!

The baby is here!!!

After a successful C-Section, Chrissy delivered a beautiful baby GIRL this morning. The baby is 20 inches long and weighs 8 lbs. 2 oz. (a lot smaller than she had planned).
It was a shocker to all!

The delivery went smoothly, with only a few mild complications. The baby had tied her cord in a couple of knots and during surgery the doctors found that she was breach. All is well now and both mother and baby are recovering fine.

Check back later today for pictures....and possibly her name! (They still can't decide).

CONGRATULATIONS TO CHRISSY and her NEW BABY GIRL!
