All of the Bailys recently went to the Outer Banks for our annual beach trip. We had a great time, despite the very, very rainy weather. The children didn't seem to mind the rain much; they were having too much fun with their cousins! This year Mike's grandmother, Mawcaw, and Aunt Ann also joined us. They were a true blessing to have around! And we also had our babysitter, Hannah, who made life much easier for our family. Enjoy the pictures. :)

We recently went to Idlewild with friends of ours! We had a lovely time riding water slides and park rides... until the DOWNPOUR at 5 pm. :) We tried to wait it out but decided to head out and leave a little earlier than we had intended. But the kids still had a great time and want to go back next year.

Jonathan's hard times...

So, Jonathan has had a hard couple of weeks. A few Fridays ago he came into the house yelling for me. He had gotten stung about 7-8 times by a bee. Yes, he claims all those stings were from ONE lousy bee. This picture was taken about 15 minutes after he got stung. His lip got swollen and his eye was nearly swollen shut! Poor guy... About 2 weeks later he had to go to the dentist to get his cavities filled. He did fine there, even the dentist said so. I guess Jonathan needed to toughen up a bit... and he sure has!! He was very brave through both incidents. :)

Sarah's First Birthday

Sarah is now one year old!!! She continues to be sweet and pleasant and a wonderful baby! We had two celebrations. One at our house and one at at my parent's house. We had a nice time visiting with family and of course, eating cake! Sarah loved the cake, even though she ended up wearing most of it. :) Thank you, Lord, for such a sweet and healthy baby.
