Catch Up

It's been a while since our last post and we've had quite a bit going on. Here's what's been going on.

Last week, Zach's parents (aka Grandpa and Grandma Hinten or Allan and Carolyn) came down to our little island for a visit. Unfortunately, Zach had to work two of the days they were here, but I think we all still managed to have a great time. Day 1 included a tour of Key West (which really doesn't take very long), walking around Duval St. and "downtown", and ended with a quiet dinner at home. Day 2 we toured the Little White House (where Harry S. Truman came) and were able to meet up with Zach for lunch. After lunch Haley decided to take a much needed nap, so Grandpa and Grandma opted to be dropped off "downtown" to wander around. I wasn't quite sure they were planning on coming back, so I called to check on them right as the rain started to come down in buckets. We spent another quiet evening at home. On Day 3 Zach was finally able to participate in all the excitement. We toured the USCGC Mohawk, which is a Coast Guard ship that is here in KW. Then we had a very nice lunch with a view of the beach (which Haley enjoyed quite a bit).

By the time we got home I think everyone was in need of a nap. Zach's parents were kind enough to watch Haley for the evening so that Zach and I could have a date. I can't even remember the last time we went on a date! We ended up going to the movies and it was great. On day 4 we took the grandparents to see Haley in action at Kindermusik. It was not our normal class and was full of older kids, so she didn't participate as much as normal. Then we went over to the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, which was very neat. Our next stop was a surprise to Allan and Carolyn. We were going to find out the gender of Baby Hinten #2!

And the results are in! It's a Girl!

Hello World!

Just to make sure...it is a girl :)

We are all very excited to have another girl in the family, although Zach is probably starting to feel quite out-numbered.

The day ended perfectly...with a sunset.

It was a wonderful visit and we were sad to see the Hintens leave. But the good news is that we will see them again in only two months!
