Playing At The Pool

We went over to visit the Summers at the Ross Bridge pool and Ellie had a blast playing in the water fountains next to the kiddie pool. For more pictures see the link to Jake's page on the right.

Making Ice Cream

We decided to make good use of the ice cream churn that Kate gave me for Christmas and make my grandmother Sa's homemade vanilla ice cream. It was yum, yum and Ellie even got a taste. And of course we did it the old fashioned way with the hand crank.

My New Hairdo

Ellie trying out a new style.

Girls Night Out

Millie and Becky came over Saturday and the girls were able to do some shopping, go out to eat, and catch up.

Pulling Freddie's Ear

Coach Summers and Jake

Jake Summers stopped by today and hung out for a while. He pretty much just ignored Ellie, but she tried to follow him around and even up the stairs. The only thing worse than a baby and stairs is 2 babies and stairs. Baby gate time has arrived.

Ellie Pictures

As promised here are some new Ellie pictures. She is a mess these days. She has learned how to wave hello and goodbye and it is hilarious. Her walking is getting better everyday and she is standing up on her own easily. She is also starting to get into everything. We have some serious baby proofing to do. For those of you who haven't heard we will be at Children's South Hospital monday morning with Ellie getting ear tubes. Her ear infections just will not heal up. The procedure will only take 5 min, but say a little prayer for Peanut and for Ashley monday morning.

Ellie Stands Up

Ellie did it, she stood up for the 1st time long enough to get her picture taken. It is amazing how fast she is changing and learning new things. She will be walking before we know it.

Beach Vacation

We all took a much needed break last week and traveled to St. Simon's. It was the first time Ashley and I had been over there in over 2 yrs and it was Ellie's 1st beach trip. We made stops at my parent's house on the way(see Mom's blog for pics) and on the way back we stopped at Ashley's parents. Ellie had a ball on the beach and ate enough sand to fill up a sand box. She started bear crawling on the beach and loved kicking her feet in the pool. She got to meet Cousin George and Dena and even made biscuits with Grandmama Serita. We were all worn out and need a vacation from our vacation, but we had a great time and look forward to future trips to SSI.
