What a weekend!

We had a great weekend (with the exception of driving home on Sunday) visiting with my parents. I had a baby shower and Jay had a show out of town. I love visiting with grandparents because they help out SO much! Ellie loves all of the attention and cannot get enough of their sweet dog, Lucy. Lucy is not as excited about Ellie. She will let Ellie know when she's had enough, but Ellie thinks it's funny. I am usually on Lucy's side... As soon as we arrived, Lucy went running in another room with Ellie chasing right behind her!

Excuse the quality of these pictures... they were all taken with an I Phone

Ellie loves investigating new areas of the house... especially MiMi's silver drawer!


Ellie enjoyed playing at MiMi's office while I was at the baby shower


Laughing at MiMi


Ready to go!


Yay! Daddy is coming home today!


Sweet girl is ready for church


She screamed when I dropped her off, but was having cookies when I returned... and got a sucker from cousin Millie




I am SURE this contributed to our NOT SO PLEASANT ride home... I thought I would be smart and leave before Ellie's afternoon nap. Little did I know that she would SCREAM from Odenville to Oxford... If you are not familiar with that distance, it was over an hour. She then passed out for all of 20 minutes before screaming again from the GA line until we pulled into the drive way. Yes, another hour... I threatened to drop her off on the side of the road. We did make a pit stop because I thought she might be hungry. Instead, she fed Sophie her chicken nuggets and FF.

New trick of the week... getting her arms out of the carseat straps. Guess I need to tighten them!
