Merry Christmas!

Christmas 2010 was a great one at the Hinck's home. We had my (Alice) grandmother from Arizona and aunt from Rhode Island visit. It was also Kaylei's last Christmas as an only child which has been a bitter sweet realization for me so she got a big Christmas this year. She was thankful for everything and made time to play with EVERY toy she received. She was a trooper when she didn't get the one thing she asked for, no tears!

We took lots of pics and videos. Below is only a few of the 40ish pictures taken with my new flipshare camera. It takes video and then you plug it into your computer and take stillshots from the videos.

We hope the rest of our friends and family had a joyful and memorable Christmas. Have a safe rest of the year and Happy 2011 when it gets here!

Kaylei received a Dora umbrella from Troy's parents

This package kept getting flipped during the unwrapping process. Not by choice, it was a bit too heavy for Kaylei to handle and it kept flipping over :)

Dora umbrella

The best part of the gift is the box! Kaylei received cross country skis from her pop-pop and the box fit her perfectly. We were going to ship her back but changed our minds :)

Our Boy!

We are 34 weeks pregnant and expecting a boy by early February!

Kaylei's Adventures with Fish

Hinck baby #2

It's been verified, we are expecting baby #2 in early February. Troy and Kaylei are excited! Alice on the other hand is experiencing "morning sickness" daily which did not happen with Kaylei. We all got to see the baby in an ultrasound and saw the heartbeating.

We have decided to go to the Spearfish, SD clinic. Mainly since they were referred to us by insurance but also because the other close clinic (85 miles) is Cesearean happy. So we will travel an extra 15 miles to hope for care that better fits in our birth plan. The roads could be good or bad but if this baby is anything like Kaylei, we'll have plenty of time to get there ;) (Alice labored 23 hours with Kaylei).

We also have friends in Belle Fourche that have offered to help and we are very thankful for them. We actually stayed at their house the night before our first appointment and the girls played well.
