Another Girl!
Today I went to my Ultra-Sound with a girlfriend, (Joel really wanted to be there, but he had surgery). So, I turned my head during the gender check. The technician put the results in a sealed envelope, and the 4 of us opened the exciting news together. Clara feared for her life, and hid behind Joel's legs, not quite sure what was about to happen. She closed her eyes and said "I don't want to look. Is it going to hurt?" (She thought we were going to take the baby out to see...woops!) Kimball was so excited and just watched Joel open the envelope in anticipation, HOPING for a boy...and then, the news...Kimball's little face dropped to sudden tears. Another GIRL!!! I have to admit, I was a little teary upon seeing Kimball. I feel so blessed to have a boy and a girl so it really didn't matter to me, but poor little guy, he really wanted a brother. Well, we are all thrilled! Now we can start preparing and thinking of names.

Crabbing Adventures
We decided to give it a go, even though it is the WRONG SEASON! So, in the end, visiting Edisto Island and learning the technique of CRABBING was lots of fun, but with no success.
We did manage to find some pretty cool shells, see lots of playful dolphins, and enjoy the birds. The kids had a blast, and we'll be ready for FALL CRABBING.

Beautiful day, but no luck!

Thanks to the Tedrows for teaching us the art of throwing chicken on a string into the ocean.

Kimball will be an AWESOME Boyscout, don't you think? He loves to collect sticks, great for making fires...
