Fun with friends at the mall play area...last Friday we went with our friends to the mall. We tried to get them all to sit still in the boat for a picture but you can see that someone was constantly moving. There is also a video at the bottom. Need to do another one since the lighting was bad, but Ellery can now walk behind her push toy. Her sounds are hilarious!

RAINBOWS! We had to snap some pictures as this is the first rainbow we have ever seen at our house (or at least that I can remember at the moment!).

Dauphin Island, AL...we just got home from a week at the beach. Ellery LOVED eating sand. We thought she might get enough and quit, but if I put her down, she was eating it. It caused some very gritty diapers. She learned to crawl while we were there. The traveling part was a little hard since she cried from having to stay in her seat, but she did OK and we survived. Some comments among the pictures...

They look like they like each other.

Elan has to learn to be gentle with her!

We saw two rainbows while there. This picture shows the second one.

It is so hard to take a family picture with everyone smiling at the camera, but we tried!

Too young for the seesaw?

Thanks "T"! This dress was given to Ellery at birth by our friend, Teresa (but named "T" by Elan). Elan looks like he admires his sister in the picture, and he sometimes he actually demonstrates that by his actions.
